Hiya, I recently made my first computer. And everything's working well and such. But, I planned on overclocking my CPU, and started looking into how far I'd be able to get. I'd previously used a program to see at what temperature my CPU's running at idle, around 18-22C. Now I did a Cinebench test to see what temps my cpu is running at during a full load, to see how far I could overclock. But.. The results were worrying. Within 8 seconds the temperature shot up to around 83C, and one core briefly peaked to 91. That's already hotter than what I was thinking of setting as limit during overclocking, and this is just stockspeed.
I have a 6700K obviously, a Sycthe Mugen 4 PCGH cooler and applied Arctic Silver paste to the cpu.
I looked up a bunch before going here, and found that the fans on my particular cooler only spin at 800 rpm, rather than up to like 1500, so that might play a role in it. I tried doing the benchmark with an open case and a normal fan, like, a fan for people, pointed at it at full speed, but that didn't really do much with the temperature, maybe a few degrees lower on average.
If possible I would really like to not reseat the heatsink since it was that much of a pain to seat it in the first place. And I don't have isoproyl alcohol, and it's not sold here either due to local regulations or whatever, so I don't know how to clean the cpu if I have to reapply paste.
When I placed the heatsink, I did remove the plastic sheet covering the bottom.
Please, if any of you can help, I would appreciate it.
