I really need some insight on what the problem could be:
I recently got a new processor, the 4790k and all of a sudden my max temps are around 80c, 90c depending on the stress test program. That's too dang high for me. Secondly whenever I game, my temps are 60-70c which are in the okay range but I don't think it should be that high under 40% load. I'm using the Hyper Evo 212 and I've reapplied the thermal paste 3 different times now.
So I'm wondering what's going on here, as I see that my airflow could be better(I can just turn a fan into intake and it should blow right on the heatsink but that would give my computer positive pressure and thus make the entirety a bit hotter), my cpu cooler could be running amok or the motherboard is giving the cpu too much voltage. As of right now I underclocked it to 3.2Ghz just to see if my hypothesis was right; it dropped tremendously in temps. It's max temp load is 53c, nearly a 40c difference.
I don't like it and this isn't a permanent fix as I want to get a water cooler but right now I need some input on what I could be looking for, as it seems as if something crucial cannot handle 4.0Ghz unless those temps are actually okay.
Any advice?
