I recently purchased a i7-4790k and upgraded my machine using it. I have a hyper 212 evo cooler however I am getting abnormally high temperatures at stock (4.4 ghz with turbo boost enabled). My system idles at 42-49 degrees and on load goes 80+ degrees.
I have checked everything is seated properly and used arctic silver 5 paste.
I just do not understand why I am getting these temperatures? My previous i5-4760k was OC to 4.2 ghz and the temperatures never hit the 70 degree mark.
I am willing to do whatever is necessary to get these temperatures down whether that be a settings or hardware problem. I saw a couple of threads where people were having the same problem and they blamed it on a faulty batch of chips, could this be the case here? I am limited by my current setup on the type of cooler I can use. I have a Corsair carbide 200r mid case and corsair vengeance pro ram which limits the cooler size I can use, although if there is a better cooler that will fit I will happily purchase it.
My case has an intake fan in the front and an exhaust fan in the back, both of which came with the case as standard.
I did try a H80i first however the temperatures were even worse than the 212 evo, which has put me off the closed loop coolers a little even though I think the problem with that stemmed from the cooler not fitting to my motherboard properly. Full computer specs are:
Mobo: MSI Z87-G55 (updated to latest BIOS to support haswell refresh)
Case: Corsair Carbide 200r
CPU: i7-4790k (Devils Canyon)
Cooler: Cooler Master hyper 212 evo
GPU: Direct CU Asus GTX 760
RAM: 2 x 8gb Corsair Vengeance pro high profile
PSU: Corsair AX 860i
HDD: WD Black 1TB
SSD: Samsung 250gb Pro
If anyone could give me any help on this it would be greatly appreciated!
