So I built a mini itx pc with a 4670k, msi z87i mobo and an h80i. I have read that for a beginning base OC for my cpu should be about 4 GHz without any problems. Well I set the clock speed to that without changing voltages and the temps start off below 75 degrees Celsius but then after about 5 minutes of prime95 they shoot up to 85 then begin to fall to about 60-65 degrees.
It then stays at about that temp for 10 minutes then at the 15min mark of prime95 they shoot up to mid 80s again. It keeps going on this pattern throughout the test.
I figured that I could just change the fan speed in the bios or the msi command center to increase the fan speed because they do not sound anywhere near 100%.
But when I change the cpu fan speed, nothing happens and it says the fans are spinning at 2500rpm throughout the entire test even though they are clearly fluctuating in speed. I would use corsair link, but due to my mobo being mini itx there were not enough plug ins to have usb 2.0
ports and corsair link.
Anddd it just crashed 30min into the test
I feel like the temperature issue is a result of the fans not spinning fast enough to deal with the heat so i guess my question is how do you adjust fan speed on an h80i without corsair link?
