H60 system reaching 100°C after half a year usage

Hi,



I bought the H60 about half a year ago and worked perfectly fine so far then last week when I ran some win updates and restarted the computer the BIOS gave me an CPU overheating warning.

First I thought it had something to do with the update so I did a system restore but it didn't matter.



I noticed the grid at the fan was full of dust, I vacumed it out that helped about 5-10 degree but still far from good.



Thought maybe it's the thermal paste so I purchased isopropyl alcohol and lint free cloth and cleaned the original thermal paste from the cpu and cooler and applied Arctic Silver 5 but still not good.



When I play Titanfall it can go up to even a 100 degree:

22:52:22 08/29/14 99 96 93 92

22:52:32 08/29/14 98 96 93 94

22:52:42 08/29/14 98 97 93 93

22:52:52 08/29/14 100 96 93 92

22:53:02 08/29/14 100 98 96 94



I recalibrated the Fans in the AI Suite 3 which is a tool for the mobo but still no joy. The CPU fan sensor goes up to a maximum around 2000rpm (this is the fan) and the CPU_OPT sensor which powers the pump is constantly around 4700rpm.



In idle the temp goes down to around 45-50 which is still a bit high but the problem is when it's loaded. And I remember that after the initial setup in February it never went above 60-70 degree not even under tests.



Any ideas? This is my first water cooling system so I'm quite new to this.



Could it be still a high amount of dust in the grid? My vacuum cleaner is quite crap, any better way to clean it maybe?



Thanks,

Arisu
