Heat problem after 6-7 years.

j.soukenik · Jul 12, 2018

Hi Guys, I want to check with you. I have intel core i7 2600k for over 6 years then recently I got errors when restarting pc in bios that heat is over the maximum (it never shut down the pc) in Bios it stated approximately 92 Celsius but it let me continue back to windows. I checked the hardware monitor and minimum temperature was 72 across CPU maximum over 90. So first I cleaned dust, (not much of it) doesn’t helped, then I went and bought this thermal paste https://www.alza.cz/EN/thermal-grizzly-kryonaut-5-55g-1-5ml-d4798716.htm scraped old one which was dry and I guess based on silicone back then and applied this one. The base temperature when in windows and not playing dropped from 72 to 48-52 No longer have problem with overheating error after restart in bios but my CPU fan is damaged (the passive heatsink see the picture) and when I’m playing the maximum temperature is still 90+- but it will drop very fast after I stop playing. What do you think I should do? Replace the CPU heatsink or that’s not the issue?
My case is NYXT Phantom 530 One big frontal fan, cpu fan on big heatsink and rear fan.

I'm not really getting much information from the picture....but I'm leaning towards throwing on a new cooler.

You should be able to buy a new fan for your heatsink. It sounds like your in pretty good shape, you just need to get some air moving over those fins. If it's easier for you just replace the whole thing, that works too.

I agree with smashjohn that you are "almost" there....if you can get that fan/cooler taken care of....I would expect you will be running as you should be.

Lock your Heatsink carefully. If you interested in this answer,I'll show you more step to solve your problem.Reply me.

Your heatsink pipes look like it was scorched. It's probably dying. Get a better one. For example:

You bought the best silicon paste on the market. You didn't need to go that far but why not I guess.

Edit: Didn't realize the thread was 2 months old.

zebarjadi.raouf :

Yep that was my main question if the functionality will remain since it seems like it was scorched.
after applying the paste it solve the issue of getting error on startup but still when playing some games, not even that demanding temperature and fan rpm was kind a high 80+-, when in windows 50-60 +-. Anyways , I will buy a new cpu cooler thanks for info.
