[SOLVED] 10900k spiking to 100c

[Kenperry]

I had a corsair h100i running on my 10900k for about 5 months, yesterday when playing dying light 1 my PC shut off. I rebooted and ran the game again and about 30 mins later it happened again. So I ran CPUID and it was spiking to 100c on all cores and running in the 80-90c range during gaming.. I pulled the AIO off and put a Noctua d15 in. It now runs around 75c-85c running that game. There are still intermittent spikes to 100c, but rarely, and not on all cores. My question is, is it safe to have spikes like this? I have never had a cpu that runs this hot, so I am out of my depth seeing 100c. thank you all for your time, if anyone needs any further info please feel free to ask.

No O.C.

What case are you using? Could be that the cooler is starved of fresh air.

 

[Kenperry]

I have the sides off the case currently. Until I figure out what is causing this.

Do you know what your vcore is? Was the system a lot cooler before? When you say stock, I assume you mean 4.9Ghz all core turbo?

 

[helper800]

Could also be poor mount on the coolers. Are you absolutely sure you mounted the coolers properly? Did you also applied enough thermal compound, you cant put too much unless it is electrically conductive?

I have the cooler mounted as I always have (i use Noctua d 15s exclusively for my builds normally) I will try pulling it off and adding more thermal as I am out of ideas. I will let you know the results shortly.

Sorry, I didn't see you post earlier. No it ran hotter before the cooler change.

After putting more thermal paste on it now operates in the low 80s under load (I used cpux benchmark, If i should use something else please let me know) there was a 1 time spike to 96 on the package and no core went over 94c during the full test. Are these acceptable numbers?

I have a 10850K, low 80's seem about normal for 4.9Ghz on a 240mm AIO. Spikes at 96C are a concern, that in my mind is way too hot. Do you know what your load vcore is?

Those are acceptable. What is the ambient temp in the room you are in?

usually low 70s.

1.632 is what i saw in the bios. Also when I run prime 95 small fft, avx disabled it instantly goes to 100c.

:O that's insane, that could kill your chip. It should be 1.3v something when running at 4.9Ghz on all cores.

 

[Nighthawk117]

Do you mean 1.32v, that would make more sense?

 

[Kenperry]

I double checked, it is set at 1.200 but in bios it is actively running at 1.632

If it really is that, then that's not right. What are you using to measure?
What clock speed are you running at?
Also what's your RAM frequency btw?

 

[Kenperry]

Ram is 2400, I am using cpuz to mesure, how do I lower this?

also the clock is set to 5300mhz.

What does CPU-Z say your core speed is?

 

[Kenperry]

What does CPU-Z say your core speed is?

it goes up tp 5300 Idles at around 3700.

 

[Kenperry]

Ok so how do I un OC this? I was not made aware by the people putting it together that this was going to be overclocked. (i would have built it myself but I couldn't get a gpu anywhere)

Ok, 5.3Ghz normally is the max on a single core for 10900K. I would normally expect that sort of voltage if it was set to 5.3Ghz on all cores.

ok how do i set it to run normal? I do not want it to be overclocked. I'm not really into the OC scene if you can't tell

So I don't know if it is overclocked, it sounds like it might be. A lot of boards have an OC option that will apply the max single core boost speed to all cores, it might be something like that.

No neither am I, it's too much heat and noise. Easiest way to get rid of it would be to just reset your bios to default values, this is assuming it does have some OC settings applied and there isn't something else wrong.

Also for measuring temps and v-core I would recommend using HWMonitor and HWInfo.
