Well, this is the problem. In about a month my processor started to overheat, running Cinebench for 5 second, my processor reach 100º, in idle is 45-50º.

Here a screenshot, look at the max values.

I try all, reinstall windows, reset bios, update bios, replace thermal paste, try processor in other motherboard… nothing work. I remember that my processor in cinebench never passed from 60-70º.

My liquid cooler is a Corsair H75, that work perfectly(because I tried the stock cooler of a Friends I5-4460 and nothing changes). My motherboard is a Gigabyte Z97P-D3 and my case is a Zalman Z11 Plus.


Ill put here some screenshot of my motherboard voltajes, etc configurations. I have a undervolt of 0.08V, but it didnt fix nothing.

when that cpu is running a tad warm, it can be due to poor application of TIM, a cooler that isn't strong enough, or a chip that needs to be undervolted. when that chip is running at 100, it's almost always due to either TIM or poorly installed cooler. When the problem occurs a month after install, that's almost always a problem with TIM. Thoroughly clean and re-apply TIM, as previous poster stated.

Sorry but, what is TIM?

If is thermal paste, i reapply It like 5 times, Artic MX-2 and the cooler is ok too...

I had the PC for 4 years, changing thermal paste every year and never happen this

I think is fine, i tried the processor in another PC with a stock cooler from Intel I5-4460 and the temperature was the same. In addition, i touch the pipes of the Liquid Cooler, one is hot and the other cold, so it means that it is fine.

To discard it completely, I bought a new liquid cooler, the "Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB". If the temperature dont change I will return it and wait for the delid tool that i bought(my last hope, because in Google reach 50-70º)

TIM is the Thermal Interface Material on the die under the IHS(Integrated Heat Spreader).

That is a picture of the die on a CPU. The long rectangular looking thing. There is thermal compound on that part of the CPU which is under the hunk of metal called the IHS that sits on the CPU. Most people refer to the IHS as the top of the CPU or the Lid.

This is what it looks like when you delid a CPU.

As you can see there is thermal compound. Over time this dries up and the CPU runs hotter as a result. The only way to fix it is to delid and reapply thermal compound. And that may be the fix for your problem. It makes sense that it could be the problem.

Yes, i think this is the problem because the processor have like 4-5 years. I bought a delid tool and im waiting to receive it, ill update if it fix the processor.

Today I will receive the new liquid refrigeration, if that fixes it, I will update with the news.
