Issue following a thermal paste change

Hello, I'm sorry to bother you. But I'm experiencing a problem following a thermal paste change. During the first change of the thermal paste, the temperature of my CPU was at 89-90 degrees in the BIOS menu. Then, I performed another change of thermal paste, making sure to clean it properly and apply a sufficient amount. Unfortunately, I have exactly the same result when I return to the BIOS menu. It starts at around 48 degrees and then goes up to 89-90 degrees. I want to clarify that I have water cooling that doesn't seem to be failing.

    Hi David

    Check if you have centered the pump properly

    when you're in BIOS, slightly move the radiator/pump

    and let it run for 4/5 minutes to stabilize the temperature

    if necessary, adjust it by a small mm

    in BIOS, the temperature rises to 65°C or even 70°C

    See you later

    Note: thermal paste is a stopping point [ and make sure to apply a sufficient amount ??? ]

    too much has the opposite effect

    Yes, I put a grain of rice in the center of the CPU. I think I'm within the norm; I've seen people put in more without really impacting the temperature. But I know that putting in too much is not good. So if I understand correctly, I'll leave my PC on and move the block a bit.

      The centering is accurate to within half a millimeter.

    I understand, sorry to be annoying like this, but I'm afraid of doing it wrong. But how do I move it and where to, because to me it seems well placed, by the way the screws are tight but I didn't force them, did I do it right?

      you can make very small rotations to move

      there are four directions to move

      the temperature displayed in the BIOS is the referee

    while leaving the PC on? So I'm trying to move it from the part of the logo? like the big part of the block

      the aluminum or copper part that is on the processor

      if you move it in one direction, and the temperature rises, it was in the other direction that you needed to move it

      and you are in the BIOS

    Yes, but I don't think that's possible because it was already mounted correctly before and I just took it apart and put it back as it was before; I just had to use the MSI logo as a reference.

    Hello

    A grain of rice in the center of the IHS is not enough; one of the best methods is the dice method of 5, and to silence any attempts at trolling, this method has been used for a long time in the industry and is preferred during overclocking tops.

    That said, the insufficiency of the thermal paste doesn't seem to be your issue; it's rather the water cooling that's the problem. Either the pump is faulty, or the installation is unsuitable. What processor do you have?
