Intel core i5 4690k 4.0 overclock temps 77c way to high. Using PH-TC12dx_BK heat-sink

XenobladeX · Mar 14, 2015

My temps are way high when under 100% load from my cpu using Aida64. Now I tried Prime95 and my temps went to 100c under 100% load. I'm using the PH-TC12dx_BK heat-sink and I have reapplied the thermal paste twice and still get the insane high temps. I have 3 120mm fans pointing at the cpu and lots of space in my large case. Is it the heat-sink is garbage? It had amazing reviews on Amazon. Any one to speed all my 120mm fans up for more airflow?

Try using something like intel burn test, Prime95 has been known to cause insanely high (false) temps with some intel processors.

Downloaded and just tried intel burn test. My temps went up to 90c in 20 seconds.

Have you tried lowering voltages on your OC to help reduce temperatures? The OC may still be stable with less.

XenobladeX · Mar 14, 2015

I changed my core voltage to 1.170 from 1.200 and still get insanely high temps. In Aida64 I get 75c temps across all 4 cores. on intel burn test 90c. Prime95 100c temps!!!

I would say reset your OC, and see what they are reporting. If they are still much higher than other burn tests, disregard them as an outlying anomaly.

Maybe try re applying thermal paste it sounds like either you put too much or too little the heat sink your using is a very good one so its either what the guy above me said or your thermal paste

Lower, not make higher...

Gam3r01 · Apr 12, 2015

To 1.170 from 1.200.
That would be a decrease of .030

oops, my bad. I switch the from and the to for some stupid reason

If you are going to be overclocking with a third party heat sink I would probably take the time and money to just buy a nice water cooler so if you have a decent budget for what your trying to do with overclocking I would go with the corsair h100i or h105 which are both around 100$-120$ but if you don't have a big budget I would go with the corsair h80i which is both small and effective, with a heat sink trying to overclock at such high GHz and with those ridiculous temps I would go with a water cooler but like I said if you have the budget for example with my water cooler (the corsair h105) on the Intel core i5 4690k I got 4.80GHz with a really cool temp of 34 degrees Celsius so if I were you I would just go ahead and buy a water cooler on Amazon for a kinda high price it's definitely worth it.

do you have a liquid cpu cooler? or fan air
