Hi I have been tweaking my 6700k for a while now and ended up with something stable at 4.8 Ghz, but as these things go I'm worried if voltage and temp are in acceptable ranges. Now I know how to use the search function so I'm fairly certain that running 1.4V on this chip is safe, however, I've...

I've already tried Core Temp, HWmonitor, HWinfo och OpenHardware

SO I've been overclocking, the second CPU is covered by their insurance plan for overclocking, but still - twice? There must be something else going on. No problem with paste, since the other cores are running 70C in prime while Core #2 throttles the thing as it runs 30c higher. All fans are...

Dubble post, but it's still running hot. roughly 60 at idle at stock. Can old Thermal Paste be the culprit? It's actually only one core which is running hot, the rest are at 20 idle - any idea what this means?

Intel burn test burned the CPU quite badly, 90+, only had 2/10 tests left so wanted to pass it. Otherwise around 30-45 idle. It was quite a while ago I changed paste, and as matter of fact, I ordered new paste yesterday. I cleaned the heatsinks last week. I'll try that and we'll see where it...

Hey! As the title says my CPU now idles 80+deg, 78C in bios - with all fans working and at 100%, CPU fans included. This started after my PC froze when I attempted to reopen CPU-z during a run of intel burn test. My settings are as follows, if you feel you are missing any info please let me know...
