I've had my 4790k for a year now but since i couldnt afford more i had it locked on 4.0ghz with a stock cooler. Earlier today I bought a Hyper 212 Led and had it installed in the servis. I came home all happy that i'd be able to finally use my cpu with atleast default settings, maybe even try and pull off 4.5 or even 4.6ghz and oh boy was i disappointed.
:/
So the first thing i did is i loaded default settings, booted up and when everything was booted like usual, i opened HWMonitor and i noticed that temperature was already 45-50 celsius, which is same if not worse than what i had with the stock cooler. I then opened Intel Extreme Tuning Utility just to be sure that HWMonitor wasnt lying and it was the same. Curious, i did a stress test and it took it about 10 seconds to reach 100C and start throttling. Im pretty sure that this is awfully wrong as it didnt even overheat with a stock cooler.
I made a screenshot just so you can see my voltages and temps. I am pretty sure that the airflow is good and that the fan is working. Im probably gonna check if theres something wrong with contacts or thermal paste in the morning but before i do i definetly wanna hear something for people more experienced than me.
I forgot to say that my motherboard is a Gigabyte Z97P-D3 and that not only did it overheat during a bench/stress test but it overheated when i loaded up Witcher 3 (Medium settings) aswell
