Hi all,

As the title suggests, I'm looking for suggestions or reasons to why my temperatures are so high.

- I've reset my bios to optimized defaults (no OC);
- Re-seated my Noctua 3 weeks ago with a pea of cooling paste (because I thought it would help the temps);
- It is freezing outside;
- Good airflow in the case;
- Z87 pro motherboard, Noctua D14 cooler.

My idle temps are hovering around 40 to 43 °C.
Any stresstest like Intelburn puts every core between 97 and 100 °C...

I think I bought the entire setup 4 years ago, I've only been looking at my CPU lately as I was thinking to OC the 4770k a little, but looking at these temps that does not seem to be an option at all.

Both the 4770k and 4790k have shit for TIM between IHS and die.
My 4790k was throttling doing simple stuff, like gaming and had to use it underclocked at 4Ghz.
Went and delidded it (NT-H1 between die and IHS, same between IHS and cooler), gained OC room and max temps of 80C stock and 86C OCd at 4,6Ghz in Prime95 small FFT.

First, if that's a screenshot from CPU-Z, get a second opinion from HWiNFO64. CPU-Z is notorious for being entirely inaccurate in some readings with some motherboards (has to do with the chips that the mobo makers use for whatever reason). Second, that's too much voltage under max reading if that is correct. At 1.2xx that's an overclock voltage like upwards of 4.4GHz, not stock.

And the above info is correct on the 4770K but NOT the 4790K:

Thank you both for your input.

I hadn't heard about delidding before, seems like some fiddling for something that may not help. However if enough sources tell me this will help I may consider it.

@10tacle: The screenshot is from HWMonitor. In this post I attached now a screen from HWiNFO64 after doing a standard intelburn test. Regarding the voltage, that was a maximum peak reached (you can't see the labels in that screenshot, sorry). When resetting the default bios settings it goes into an adaptive mode which I imagine can shift the voltage, it averages much lower than 1.2V.
