Either your room temperature is 60f or your chip is running around 25c idle. I'm also in California, so it's fairly warm here and I think the room temp is around 72f.It's not possible for your chip to run cooler than your room temperature. My max temp, according to Real Temp? 41c. (Note that this is slightly over kill for just a CPU, but it's leftover from a larger cooling system in the past) Earlier today I ran prime95 on a I7 4930k (Ivy Bridge - E, not 100% sure I'm currently on stock bios or my OC'd though) for a couple hours. Just to put it in perspective, in a sense, I'm running a custom loop consisting of a 3x120 Radiator (3 120mm fans vs the h60's 1) with a custom CPU block and stand alone pump. While I suppose it technically IS liquid cooling, performance wise it's heads and tails BELOW what "true" liquid cooling is. When I was working on an OC I got that, and soon as I upped the voltage it went away. I'm also in California, so it's fairly warm here and I think the room temp is around 72f. Also, because the pump is built into the block, and is so compact, the flow rate is too low (and the tubing is too thin and the pump is.not the best) to allow for a really good flow, which would greatly increase the cooling capacity.This. Also the CPU block is small, so it does not absorb as much heat (and dissipate it into the air) compared to custom blocks. Also the liquid does not cool as well as distilled water. The unit (mainly the radiator) is just too small. The only difference is that it is quieter.

Corsair Hydro Series Coolers are just like putting a mid/high end air cooler on your CPU. You could use ArcticSilver 5, Arctic MX-2 or MX-4 or something else if you prefer.Īn H60 won't really give the performance of an actual custom water loop. The thermal paste will probably give you a 2-3C drop in temperatures, maybe more. Clean the crappy corsair thermal pad off the block/CPU and put some good thermal paste onto the CPU and then reseat the block onto it. I would replace the thermal paste as soon as you can. He is probably experiencing temperatures within an expected range. Also, because the pump is built into the block, and is so compact, the flow rate is too low (and the tubing is too thin and the pump is.not the best) to allow for a really good flow, which would greatly increase the cooling capacity. Shouldn't break ~60C on water.An H60 won't really give the performance of an actual custom water loop. Download and run Prime95 on your system to stress test it.
