I have a new build with the following
17 8700k
asus rog strix z370-E
deepcool captain 120 liquid cooler
I installed ROG Realbench to see how things are running. I know very little so was using the overclocking guide at ROG to get started. Right from the start the cpu temp went up to 100 degrees C so I stopped the test.
From what I understand this is way too hot, no? When I installed the cooler I did not use paste because it came out of the package with paste pre-installed on the copper plate. Should I buy some better paste and reapply?
Any other thoughts? I will try to figure out how to post a screen shot of the HWMonitor specs. One other weird thing, The clocks report in HWMonitor show that they maxed out at 5ghz. I did not think that I set any overclocking in the bios yet, but I am an extreme newb so maybe I accidentally set something. Should I reload the defualt bios settings?
Other thoughts?
My intent is to just get running around 4.7ghz. I was hoping to just set and forget once I get it going but I want to make sure I am not damaging anything. Hopefully the deepcool 120 unit will get me there.
Thanks guys!
