Hey guys, I have a 4790k on a ASRock Fatal1ty z97 killer. I've reapplied thermal paste twice now and it idles at 55c. WHen I run Prime95 it shoots up to 95c in a minute. What should I be doing to fix this?

When I saw 53c at idle I wasn't about to check what would happen with something like Intel Burn Test.

I don't think so.

I have the 4690K and the 212 Evo with a second fan keeps it happy even when it and my 970 FTW are both OC'd.


Yep. I purchased the 2500K years ago. I purchased the V8. Hmmmmm. Let's try the stock cooler with the pre-applied paste. Okay. 53C. Let's try the V8(Cooler Master). 35 and cooler once in Windows.
