4790k temp problems

[dusktildawn48]

So i just got the 4790k last week. Got to oc'ing (4.6) and monitoring temps today, and with my h100i the temps sit around 65 for the first 20 or so minutes and then just randomly shoot up to 100. I already reapplied the thermal paste and made sure the cooler was seated right but still happening the same way every time. This is with monitoring with realtemp, coretemp, and msi afterburner. Did i get a bad processor? I could still exchange it with microcenter.

alrighty keep us updated

just put my friends 4790k in my computer and its not much better. maximum: 90c 86c 81c 76c

i should mention this h100i cooler is new. did i get a bad cooler? maybe i have something hooked up wrong.

87c 93c 90c 84c were mine at everything default. so not much better.

edit: do you mean in his computer?

its possible u have a bad motherboard as well id replace it as well.

imma put a different cooler on it tomo. i have an h80 and a thermaltake frio extreme.

Alright, because your H100i could be malfunctioning.

Hopefully im not a total idiot, but I used the same bracket and screws from the h80. They're all the same right?

Not the H80, but the H80i's are.

 

[dusktildawn48]

Yeah its an h80i

 

[Andrew Buck]

Yeah its an h80i

Then its the same bracket. The waterblocks are identical.

 

[iceclock]

try a different cooler than a watercooler like an aircooler to see if u get different temps if not id rma possibly motherboard and cpu doesnt seem right these temps.

Ok so an interesting new development. Put on both h80I and frio and same thing with both. Then I hooked my friends computer and it did the same thing! Heres his hugh temps after 18 mins. 85c 87c 86c 83c. Is there a chance I have bad thermal paste? Its like 4 years old. Its antec formala 6. I took out my mobo and think that was a waste of time because now that I see my friends computer doing the same thing im just baffled

Well, that generally isn't bad. I would buy new thermal paste and try that.

 

[dusktildawn48]

6 have you ever heard of tp going bad?

If it is old, it could be, but I highly doubt it. You can get some new paste and try that.

 

[dusktildawn48]

Im gonna be at microcenter today. Should I exchange my mobo and cpu?

Maybe, but try thermal paste first. I guess it wouldn't hurt to exchange your CPU.

id just rma the board and cpu not normal temps for new items.

Got a new board and cpu. Same thing

Might be the board, PSU, or just the cooler is bad.

 

[dusktildawn48]

It'd an asus maximus vii hero. Just that type of board could be the problem?

You could have a bad board, ASUS boards generally aren't bad, but they don't perform the best. You know what? Try this: http://www.aida64.com/downloads/aida64extreme450zip Open that and go to one of the menus on top (on my mac right now, can't open it) and then press stability test. Then Stress FPU. Tell me if you get the same issue. For more real world, stress CPU, FPU, cache, and memory. That is what gaming would likely do. For compressing and rendering simulation, Stress FPU, cache, and memory.

 

[dusktildawn48]

i dont get what i'm supposed to be getting from aida. i start it then immediately get a stability test: failed. doesnt seem to be stressing anything much my temps arent going higher than 56, but are mostly sitting in the low 30s.
