4790k temp problems

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

So i just got the 4790k last week. Got to oc'ing (4.6) and monitoring temps today, and with my h100i the temps sit around 65 for the first 20 or so minutes and then just randomly shoot up to 100. I already reapplied the thermal paste and made sure the cooler was seated right but still happening the same way every time. This is with monitoring with realtemp, coretemp, and msi afterburner. Did i get a bad processor? I could still exchange it with microcenter.

have you tried lowering voltage usually voltage adds alot of heat.

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

ill give it a whirl.

That isn't normal, how is the h100is fans? The tubes aren't' leaking either right.

I agree with Iceclock. Also make sure that Adaptive Voltages are off. With Prime95, it gets more and more intensive, so the motherboard might turn up the voltage, which will raise your temps a lot.

also remember if u use automatic overclocking profiles they will have automatic voltage settings and might be higher than recommand thats why manually overclocks are always best

so i reset all my bios to default and primed it, it turbos to 4.4 and after about 16 mins it jumps to 90C.

That doesn't sound good at all. Replace the thermal paste and try again. Make sure no dust is there.

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

already did that. took the cooler off cleaned it and cpu and reapplied new paste. is there a chance i got a bad cpu?

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

have you tried lowering the voltage on cpu?

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

dusktildawn48 :

The 4790K should have fixed it. What is your voltage when it goes that high?

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

how do i check voltage?

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

Open up CPU-Z http://www.cpuid.com/downloads/cpu-z/1.69-en.zip

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

use cpu-z as said above

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

ok it goes up to 1.239 around the time the temp spikes.

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

dusktildawn48 :

That is actually VERY low for that frequency. My 4770K needs 1.45 for 4.6 (It's an issue, I can easily start at 1.275) but that is SUPER low. That may just be a bad 4790k. Is the H100i showing up in Corsair Link and is it working?

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

dont think its showing up in corsair link. how do i tell if its working?

Andrew Buck · Jun 30, 2014

dusktildawn48 :

That means it probably isn't working correctly. Make sure to plug it in with the Corsair Link connector FIRMLY.

Y0GI · Jun 30, 2014

Sounds like poor coolant flow to me.

Do you have any kinks in the H100i tubing?

Does the Corsair Link program show good pump speed? Even if it does, the problem could still be a bad pump.

Andrew Buck :

apparently i didnt have the link connector properly connected but even that didnt make a difference. corsair link shows my h100i but the temp still jumps to 90 after 16 minutes. i even maxed out the fans and it only made about a 2 degrees difference.

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

try putting it back to stock settings lmk the temps

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

didnt mean to pick solution. but after 16 mins of stressing the maxes are 87c 93c 90c 84c

iceclock · Jun 30, 2014

theres something ur not doing right.

if it continues id consider rma the processor shouldnt get this hot with a 100i or trying with a different cooler if u get different temps

dusktildawn48 · Jun 30, 2014

iceclock :

i can still exchange it to microcenter, but my friend has the same cpu and is coming over tomo. gonna try his in my computer
