z170a gaming m5
aorus 1080 ti (not xtreme)
i7-7700k w Noctua NH-D14 using both fans and the paste that came with cooler (NT-H1)
16 gb ddr4 2400 ram
Corsair RM650x gold
Fractal Design Define S Black Window ATX Mid
One 140mm output fan in back, one intake in front, and I have one extra 120mm intake fan on the bottom
Previously I was using 6600k, evo 212, mild OC to 4.1 and ram XMP from 2133 to 2400 temps never reaching over 60-61 under heavy load for extended periods of time. Had a 1070 which would reach temps up to 85
Just purchased a 1080 TI because I couldn't help myself. I'm very happy with that. Temps now never reach over 75 under extended heavy load
My 7700k, which I just got today, is another story entirely. Right now I am not overclocking at all (besides default boost to 4.5). I can not lower voltage at all, which seems to be sitting around 1.2 at auto.
Idle (not totally idle, usually cores are always floating between 5-15% usage) I sit around 45-55.
Under full load, I start in the 65-75 range, but as I continue to play (warhammer total war, BF1, Witcher 3 etc) it slowly climbs. After an hour or two my cores sit 70-80, with very common spikes up to 85, and occasionally with spikes (not extended temps) reaching up to the 90's.
With XMP enabled just to hit my 2400, Temp spikes reach over 95. I don't even want to attempt overclocking the CPU here.
This has to be wrong, right? Should I try to reseat the heatsink? I Know these cpu's run abnormally hot, but temps in the 90's with a high quality cooler like this just can't be right. I was hoping to be able to do another mild overclock with this as I did with the 6600k, probably no more than 4.8, however I will say my performance has been so increased already even without overclocking from the 6600k I don't even necessarily feel the need to do that anymore. My FPS seems to have gone up a solid 20 or so depending on the game (almost 50 in BF1, holy cow!)
I used the pea drop method, but I did have a bit of trouble getting the screws to latch and might have wiggled it a bit more than you should.
I just am not satisfied with these temps. I can live with hitting the low 80's, but I can't have peace of mind with spikes up to the 90's.
Any advice from you fine folk?
Thanks in advance!
