Dear people,
I have an Alphacool Eisbär Pro Aurora 360 on a Gigabyte Aorus Elite DDR4 running with a new Intel Core i7 12700k.
Before that I had it running with a Intel Core i5 12600k.
I had my doubts already with the 12600k, but now having the 12700k installed, I am getting absurd temperatures.
Here are some pictures I took after checking the mount after the first install on the 12700k:
This was a paste with Grizzly Kryonaut
Because I thought it had something to do with the way I mounted it, I bought a new set of LGA1700 screws/washer/nuts/springs and the Alphacool Core Backplate XPX/Eisbaer LGA 115X/1200/1700 Metall.
Here's the mounting of the new backplate:
This is what I got after mounting the CPU cooler with some Alphacool Subzero:
These are temperatures that I am getting, idle it is fine, but under load it flies skyhigh:
These are the Vcore voltages, which are more than within acceptable ranges:
I tried multiple pastes: Grizzly Kryonaut, Alphacool Subzero, Thermalright
Same results.
The pump is always running at 100% and I checked for airbubbels. Water is running fine.
The mount to the bracket is handtight.
This evening I'm going to check if the 12700k is domed or something. I already have the Thermalright LGA17XX-BCF correction socket lying around, but I'd rather use that when I'm recieving my new Gigabyte Tachyon board.
Also I am going to check with an aircooler to see for any differences in mounting.
I would like to receive some advise or helping hand, because after the stuff I mentioned here before, I really have no idea why the cooler is so underperforming.
P.S.
Here is a photo of the whole PC:
With kind regards,
Equit
