i7-7700(non k) gigabyte
h110m-a
windows 8.1 pro
HWMonitor to watch temps
If you do a search for i7-7700 temp spikes/surges you will see a great number of people complaining about the chip having very short 40 degree temperature spikes when opening a web browser or something from idle. I was able to solve this by switching from performance to balanced power mode in windows power settings. I was just wondering if there is any new information that anyone knows? While there is alot of complaints there are not alot of solutions that dont have to do with changing settings on a z serious motherboard that I cant do. is this just a bad luck in the silicon lottery?
My other worry is that while under load this stock cooler is very loud. I just switched from a i3-6100 and had a i5-4460k before that. Each of the coolers were extremely quiet compared to this. Is this normal for the 7th gen chips? Did intel just clock them super high or something?
I should say under load the chip never really goes about 74 degrees Celsius and I have never seen it get beyond 80c.
Are either of these issues worth sending the chip back? Or should I just get another cooler that it quieter? The only cooler I have lying around is one from a dell xps 630i that went on a q6600. Is that worth using if it fits?
Thanks for any help.
