Stock Cooler acting weird (?)
So just a week ago, me and my friend decided to repaste our own CPU. Everything went well until a week after wherein I noticed that my unit is overheating for some reason. Thermal Paste used was the Cooler Master Cryofuse 5. Like before repasting, my average temps when gaming was about 80-85 and on some instances, it event spiked to 88, but never reached 90+. After applying a fresh thermal paste and even did some cleaning, my temps suddenly spiked to 95 and around 70-ish when idle. I was like WHAT???
I never noticed this until today cause I began to suspect that my PC became even more hotter than before. I went ahead and see and was surprised that the stock cooler is not working. Like the CPU fan is not spinning at all. I went ahead and checked with my friend and there were no issues on his end so we decided to isolate the issue and swapped stock coolers.
This is where I find it weird cause when I plugged his stock cooler to mine and my friend plugged my stock cooler to his, guess what happened? Both worked. I initially thought that my stock cooler was having issues, but I guess not cause it works for him. His stock cooler works on mine so I don't think it's the motherboard or power supply's issue either. Unless I'm mistaken.
I'm just confused why my own stock cooler that I never had issues with before until after repasting suddenly caused me an unusual problem I've never encountered before.
