Hello,

I am overclocking my i5 4670k
I increase the multiplier to hit 4.3ghz
I increase my voltage to 1.22

I run Intel Burn Test on High 10 times and temps hit 100c I immediate aborted

I am using Corsair H75 Liquid Cooling

edit*I went back down to stable at 4.0ghz High temps reaching 85c
What could be the issue? I am thinking thermal paste

The size of the thermal past on the cpu should be no more than a peanut. I recommend this video if you need more help understanding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hNgFNH7zhQ

Yea, first clean the old thermal paste (with 70%+ isopropyl alcohol ) off and reapply some new thermal paste. Then re-install the cooler.

Any particular size, Nickel size is what I usually hear but maybe you have a different advice.

edit* I have pre-made 4.5 ML syringe thermal paste already measured out taken from work these are for Intel Xeon CPU for servers.
