[Solved] I7 2600k @ 90c temps need info/help

buy a real heatsink

I have an asus mainboard, it automatically OC to 3800 upon using XMP profile with ripjaws 1600mhz, got similar temp to yours initially

I'd start off by reseating your cooler, give it a proper clean and some new paste, make sure it's seated well (do NOT push directly down on the mobo when it's inside the case).

It might be the stock cooler but 90c+ still seems a bit excessive.

@Bipedal Disaster i do have the core i7 book still, but i havent ever manually used core voltages just autos lil scarey to do that

@flaminggerbil when i 1st put it together it booted as 3.8ghz (x38 multiplier) that isent stock? or maybe its my mobo that just auto OCed it? and um, what other app should i run? cause crysis 2 cant even make it work past 20% load lol im guessing by another app your prob referring to a benchmark

@dontknownots yeah i have my XMP on to

@Epidot forgot to add somthing to my main post, that i have a http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/pr [...] ct_id=2922 from my old core2 duo do you think it would work for the i7? its says it will work on an i5 on there site

Also does anyone think with the temps posted in my SS that i would hurt the CPUS life to run it like that for 12 or so hrs?

@dontknownotsure

yeah that cooler is about 2yrs old i wouldent expect super great temps for it since it was before the 2600k's time(maybe?)
but it should def it help it fits i think, also do you think i should finish this render running at 90c id hate to stop it since takes forever but not if it kills my cpu life

about that cooler tho, do you think its not listed on there site because its not efficient enough to cool a i7?
because dident the i5s come out after the i7?

So i found out that im out of silver paste, so gana have to wait to re mount any cpu but for now i decided to make my own cpu cooler.....

i came up with this, room ac+duck tape+buck knife+boxs = nexus cooler 9000, it acctually lowered my temps by 10-15c LOL (and thos where the cpu temps to)

EDIT: wouldent recommend that unless you have a perfected design for optimal airflow otherwise youll ice over your AC in about 3hrs =\

3D rendering demands a lot, but a lot from cpus, that´s why the high temps. You do need a better cooler...and a new case, eh?

lol amazon duct

what are you making? 6 hour 4k cg movie?

why dont you pin that Jesus to pc next to led light to show that it's divine powered lol

@dontknownots it was a 650 frames, 30 fps, 20 sec long animation really shouldent of demanded that much from the PC maybe the program just isent optimized for PCs i hear tons of mac users usually use C4D. haha divine powered, heck prob is LOL considering it dident blow up after 15 hours of being at 90c

@aaron88_7 yeah that was only a temp solution the AC dident like it either, it iced over the whole front grill lolz, one thing that i dont understand tho is how come theres tons of reviews out there for the 2600k people saying they OCed it to likle 4.6ghz /w the stock cooler, and they still get like 65-70c, but yet mine cant even go up to 3.8 without almost shutting down?

youd think id be fine with my full tower with x5 140mm intake fans and 2x 140mm outtakes?
