WTF, my i5 4690 just got to 98 degrees celsius in witcher 3 under load.

I've tried to fix this issue by reapplying thermal paste, moving the pc into better ventilation area nothing has helped. my BIOS temps are around 60-63c on start up wtf is happening.

Had this build for about 1.5-2 years and this has only started happening recently

stock cooler i5 4690
gtx 970 strix
asus h97 pro 4
corsair vengence 8GB @1066

Measure the distance between the motherboard and side cover. To fit the 212, you need 160mm from the IHS to the case or about 165mm from the motherboard.

Simple: the heatsink is not making good enough contact with the CPU. Either you did not insert the push-pins correctly or they have been damaged/stretched and are no longer working correctly.

My personal experience with Intel's stock cooler tells me that they should be treated as one-time-use devices: Intel's design appears to rely on the original paste's extremely high viscosity to provide contact force until the thick paste bonds the heatsink to the CPU. Once that bond breaks for whatever reason after two or more years, the stock HSF never works right again.

Dan,

I presume the power supply unit of the system build is also about 2 years old.
What brand name is the power supply, and what is the total amount of watts it says it can provide.


If you have a spare power supply kicking around with about the same wattage out put.
try connecting it to the system build you are on about.

If the temps lower just by doing that, it says the Psu is, or maybe over voltage the motherboard.
or it can be a case of under voltage output of the Psu causing the heating problems.

It may sound strange but you need to do this, if the temps drop, then there is a fault with the other power supply you were running, and you need to bin it and buy another power supply before it does do damage to the mobo and the cpu of the system build ok.

It will be the next thing to look at once you have checked that the Intel stock cooler is firmly latched or anchored to the underside of the motherboard.

When you say you reapplied thermal paste, did you properly clean off the old paste? If you did, and you're using reputable paste (any one of a number of brands) then get a new cooler and make sure it fits right. Regardless of your assertions, the cooling seems defective.
