Hi.
3 weeks ago I received 7700k. The first 2 weeks I used for him Gammaxx 200T. I realized that this was not enough. After reading the forums, I chose the Cryorig H7, given the small size of my Zalman A1 case.
I did not overclock the processor, it works in normal mode.
When using Gammaxx 200T (Arctic MX-4), I observed such temperatures (° C):
Idle: ~ 30
Low load: 40-60
AIDA64 Extreme (4 hours): ~ 80
Prime 95 (4 hours): 92-94
Games (BF1): ~ 80-85
// A little later I learned that it was not worth using Prime 95, especially version above 26.6. My mistake.
Expected results and more I could not demand from him. But, having installed Cryorig H7, I got the results the same or worse.
I used thermal paste: Arctic MX-4 and Cryorig CP7. As expected, the pastes are approximately equal. MX-4 gives 2-3 degrees less temperature.
When using Cryorig H7 (Cryorig CP7), I observed such temperatures (° C):
Idle: ~ 30
Low load: 40-60
AIDA64 Extreme (1 hour): ~ 81
Prime 95 (1 hours): ~ 94
LinX 7.0 (stopped at 3 minutes): 99
Games (BF1): ~ 80-82
I tried to disable Turbo Boost and got such temperatures (° C):
Idle: ~ 30
Low load: 40-55
AIDA64 Extreme (4 hours): ~ 70
Prime 95 (1 hours): ~ 75
LinX 7.0 (10 passes): ~ 85
Games (BF1): ~ 68-71
The maximum voltage (Turbo Boost is off / on) is 1,217V / 1,272V.
I reset the radiator several times. I applied a thin layer of thermopaste or dripped into the center and pressed it. The radiator presses very well, squeezing out the thermal paste almost completely. Screws tried to tighten and to the stop and slightly weaker. But the result is always the same. Even at high temperatures, the heatsink remains cool.
I read a lot of threads on the temperatures of 7700K and many people solved the problem. Even with the cooling system Cryorig H7 received temperatures below what I have now. Unfortunately, I can not solve this problem.
Could I damage the thermal interface of the processor or is there a problem in the cooling system? Or is this temperature normal?
I read that such temperatures are permissible and are normal. I'm more interested in why I got higher temperatures after replacing the cooling system?
Short list of components:
Shell: Zalman A1
Power supply: AeroCool KCAS 700W
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z270 D3H
Processor: i7 7700K
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 DDR4 - 2x 8Gb 2400
Video: ASUS Strix 1060 6Gb OC
Ventilation: 120mm for inhalation and 92mm for exhalation.
PS: I'm sorry for my English, I almost do not know him.
