I very recently installed a 120mm single loop Corsair H75 Liquid CPU Cooler onto my Aurora-R7 after having load temperatures reach 95° on my stock system. I had to under volt my CPU to stop the temperatures from exceeding that during heavy loads.
Does anyone that has installed a similar setup had any experience with the following:
1) Do I need to re-paste the liquid cooler head?
2) Liquid cooling tubes are touching the PSU cage.
1. Easy place to start. Remember:
A. Use High quality thermal compound. B. A thin even layer, but not over-flowing. C. Pump's plate must be down perfectly flat against chip
2. Should be fine as long as they are not "pinched". I thought the tubes were slightly adjustable? No, I doubt that part of the PowerSupply's case gets hot enough to melt tubes.
Thanks! When I next get paid i'm going to by some isopropyl and clean the surfaces of the CPU lid and pump header then apply a fresh thermal compound - I think where I might have fell down is that I didn't clean the CPU lid before placing on the pump head with its pre-applied compound.

Why do we need to re-apply thermal paste when the H75 comes pre-applied?
