i7-4770k cooling issue

[tylerslusarek]

I just purchased my new setup, which includes

i7-4770k Haswell Processor

Asus Z87 Deluxe

CORSAIR Hydro series H50 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

All stock my CPU runs around 35c-39c idle
100% load shoots up to about 48c-51c

When I OC to about 4.4GHz it gets to about 79c-80c then blue screens i assume i'm hitting the threshold for TEMP. I see other overclockers talk about having their i7 to about 87c-89c. I know 77c is the max temp Intel recommends. any suggestions on successfully having my CPU clocked at 4.4GHz and if anybody has the same CPU cooler do these temps seem right? Any suggestions appreciated

Also i used Prime95 for stress testing.

80C is really hot for that processor.

What is your case? The H50 is not the greatest cooler they make. The idle and load temps at stock seem fine. I feel like you did not overclock in increments, yet just overclocked straight to 4.4GHz. It could either be temp or voltage incorrectness.

I have a Antec nine hundred case. Well this is my first overclock and i know it seems sketchy i used the built in OC utility that came with my ASUS z87 deluxe MOBO and it auto detects the settings and i'm just disappointed. What would you suggest is the best liquid cooling kit works best with my i7-4770k Haswell processor?

I run an Antec Kuhler 620, which is good.

You just have to clock within the limits of the H50. Overclock manually the old school way that is.

Well I mean I'm running it at 4.5 ghz now and is stable and when I put some load on it I get to about 50c it got to about 80c when I put 100% load on it

80C is quite hot. Do you have 2 fans on the H50?

Nope just 1. It's mounted on the inside of the case and I have the fan sucking air from the outside into the case as an "intake" so it would go in this order case>fan>radiator

If you have a space 120mm fan, see if you can mount it on the other side of the H50.

Also, make sure that the radiator is working.
