Hi,
I am trying to OC an i5 4690k on an ASUS Z97-A motherboard. I have a Corsair H60 2018 AIO (using the stock thermal paste that came with the cooler).
If I run the default settings (no OC) OR the XMP profile (3.9ghz), the CPU idles at 35C and under Prime95 it tops out at 59C. Pretty good, considering its 28C ambient temperature here.
If I try to OC the CPU to 4ghz or above (target OC is 4.4ghz), the CPU idles at the same temp (35C), but under Prime95 it immediately skyrockets to 100C and throttles. This also happens during gaming, I see that temps sometimes hit 100 and then come back down to 60-70C.
I am basically doing everything the same as in this video when OCing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ERLk7Qus-A&t=215s
I am not that experienced at this.
My case is the Fractal Design Meshify C, I have 2 120 fans pulling at the front and the AIO is the exhaust at the back. I also have an ASUS GTX 1060 STRIX and 16GB of 1866 DDR3 RAM from Crucial.
Thanks
