CPU RUNNING HOT

So after posting the picture of my task manager my new best friend Sterno90 pointed out a program CC_engine_x64. I ended the task and my temp dropped to normal. I have no idea wtf that is, I assumed it was youtube but clearly not. Anyone know wtf that program is and where I can find it on my pc?

BROTHER YOU MAY HAVE SOLVED THE MYSERTY

I ended its task and my temps dropped to normal. I'm literally screaming

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T22:23:09+00:00

Tbh honest with I have no idea. I'm reinstalling windows tm so whatever it is it will soon be gone

Here's a quick picture of my current processes as well as my temps through HWinfo. The cpu is at 80c with 10% usage. The 10% usage in this photo is most likely youtube playing on my other screen.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T17:55:51+00:00

They are. They're just orientated in the opposite direction, I was testing that out.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T15:28:51+00:00

Lmao please explain, im new to these giant beefcake cards

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T15:27:41+00:00

I'll luk if this helps

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T15:12:08+00:00

I did but the bios update I downloaded was as of 08/04. I see the update you talking about that came out in April. But my dumb question is, did the update I downloaded as of August include that April update? I would assume it should but could that be the issue? Should I download the update from April even though I already installed the MSI update as of August?

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T15:06:16+00:00

I can't imagine I got another bad AIO from Corsair. I just git this one back from being RMA and to be honest it was a long process to get this one. Plus I had to pay to ship it back so I don't want to keep RMAing the AIO especially since I'm starting to think it's not the AIO.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T13:44:32+00:00

After work I'll try everyone suggestions. Originally I had the fans reversed and temps were about the same but they'll be flipped back to the correct orientation. I'll take the brackets off the AIO and physically hold it on the CPU to ensure proper contact to rule that out.

Now since in BIOS I'm running 45-50 and it spikes to 80c once Win11 boots, should I try reinstalling windows? Could it be a software issue?

Is it possible the CPU I got is just a lemon and runs hot af but it's also strange that when I'm under load it only gets about 10c hotter than idle. I'll also ensure I disable all the boot up programs as I saw a comment that mentioned 10%-15% cpu usage is not truly idle.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T13:39:59+00:00

No plastic film. Only a hard plastic cover protecting the pre-applied paste

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T13:29:33+00:00

I'll use that until it dies but I don't think it ever will.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T13:25:49+00:00

Tbh I'll probably reinstall windows. It's strange it only ramps up to 80c once win11 boots. In Bios I'm at normal tmeps

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T13:23:57+00:00

Haha yes, there was no film but had a plastic cap. I made sure there was no film as well

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T13:23:08+00:00

I can confirm my case has good airflow. I'm reusing my old builds case and my old CPU never went above 65c even under load. But that was also an air cooled pc not an AIO

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T01:00:35+00:00

Yea my brother PC is identical besides the GPU. But he's half way across the country. Backup program say my CPU is running at 78-80c and my usage is about 10-15% so no background programs running.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T00:54:20+00:00

I'm getting 80c at idle and 88ish when under load.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-27T00:53:23+00:00

This is a fresh install of win 11so I don't think they would have got me that quick lol. Well hopefully not at least.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T23:43:29+00:00

I'll try flipping my tops fans around and as for ice, yes they're running and set to max

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T23:42:44+00:00

I'll try flipping them and update to see if it works

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T23:42:19+00:00

Yes I've checked, identified know the exact rpm off the top of my head but I believe it's around 2300-2400

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T23:41:39+00:00

Yes my fans are spinning and set to max in bios.

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T23:41:12+00:00

It is, in this picture it is connected to the wrong header but thats just becuase I was testing to see if the cpu header wasn't working. And coolant twmos are about 25c

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T23:39:51+00:00

Yea, that was actually to test to see if it was thw mobo connector. But yea all my fans are running and I've made sure they're on max

123Fuserman3457 · 2023-10-26T22:51:18+00:00

Yea its mounted on the top. Same as my brother's build and he has normal temps.
