I just installed a Noctua D14 onto my 4790k, only to find that it isn't getting much better temperatures... I am using the Noctua Thermal paste that ir came with, and used a pea size dot of it in the center of the die.
With my Hyper 212 Evo, I was hitting 70C in BF4, I thiought that was too hot
Now with the D14, I am still at like 57-65C on average in BF4
This is all with stock 1.216v at 4.4ghz...
Shouldn't I be getting cooler temps with 9 case fans and a new $75 cooler?
Prime 95 it hit 80C for some reason... maybe its just breaking in? (just mounted it today)
Is this normal, shouldn't it be cooler? under 70C is cool but I wanted to be able to OC more, and how can I run 4.6ghz at 1.25v if I go to 68C with 1.216v...
It' like I didn't even change to the internet's best air cooler...
and trust me, the computer should have plenty of airflow (just picture a D14 with the 120 in front, 140mm in middle pulling in and out the back)
