i7 7700 overheating even with a Hyper Evo 212

thrashrasec · May 16, 2018

I just bought a new cpu, i used to have an i5 7400.

My old cpu was always at max 75c on whatever games i was playing, and now the i7 7700 is around 100c while playing any bloody game. The cpu usage is never more than 30% and my cooler fan is always going crazy. Any thoughts or solutions?

Update: Even just at web browsing i get spikes around 85c+

Update: I changed the thermal paste for the third time, and reupdated the bios. I stays at 75c- while gaming.

Did you reapply thermal paste when installing the cpu heat sink?

Also there is a plastic film on the heat pipe that you need to remove as well.

Lastly check if you have connected the cpu fan to its header.

75C for an i5 7400 is very high for a CPU with a CM Hyper Evo 212.I am running an i7 4790 with CM TX3 Evo which is a lower spec cooler than the Hyper Evo 212 and my CPU never gets to 65C under load.

Do you have sufficient airflow in your case? I would re-apply thermal paste and make sure the cooler is secured correctly.
Also try the stock cooler that came with the 7700 just to check temps and compare, something is not right.
