so i got the 4790k and i have tried 2 different coolers
tests ran = prime 95 small ftt= most heat 10-15mins, like it says on the sticky post about intel temps
hyper 212 evo first mount = 99+degrees celsius with intel turbo mode at 4.4ghz 1.2v on cpu-z i turned it off within seconds of turning it on b/c it was just too high.
hyper 212 second mount = same temps with turbo mode. i turned intel turbo mode off in bios now it is at 82 degrees celsius max at 4.0ghz 1.15 volts
next day i went to ncix got a h100i
with pre applied thermal paste i mounted it and ran the same tests.
80 degrees with turbo 4.4ghz 1.2v
69 without 4.0ghz 1.15v
much better in my opinion but still seems high from what i read in other posts.
How i mounted heatsinks:
mounted bracket with even pressure tightening of the screws
Removed thermal paste from cpu and heatsink applied with 99 percent isopropyl, applied pea size amount of Arctic silver 5 thermal paste in center carefully lowered heatsink with only up and down movement and pressure. made sure not to lift or wiggle heatsink to prevent airbubbles. screwed down latches and or thumbscrews with even pressure 10-20 percent turns on each corner at a time.
my questions to you is, does my chip just have a really bad thermal interface or is it because your not supposed to run stress test with intel turbo boost on?
also
I feel like there may be some misalignment with the coolermaster evo due to the temp difference but it feels like the h100i is on proper because of the dramatic decrease what do you guys think?.
