hi so i have just bough my i7 8700k but unfortunately i made the mistake of not shipping the cooler of off amazon and so i had to buy one in my area, the best solution i could find was this :
thermaltake frio 12 silent
i installed the cooler with some mx-4 arctic thermal paste
what i have observed is that the temps are quite unstable now i know that this cooler is way out of the league for this cpu but anyways
what happens is that when idle the temps go from 33 Celsius to around 44 and then drop back and so on
while under load like aida 64 cpu+apu the temps hit 100 within a few seconds and then the cpu starts throttling
while gaming the temps are the most unstable, the bounce between 50-60-70 sometimes hitting low to mid 80s
the cpu is not overclocked however i have xmp profiles enabled for my 3000mhz ram, everything else is set to stock settings in the bios
My Motherboard
is it supposed to be like this ?
