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.

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.

That's wierd, it says failed right away? Make sure to check "Stress FPU" and anything else and press Start.

as i said rma both the board and cpu something doesnt seem right sir

Dude I exchanged both them. I heard about a certain batch that was bad on the newegg reviews

They try to bin their 4790K, so that should happen as often. I got my 4770K when they were binning, so I got a crappy chip.

 

[iceclock]

so u exchanged them both and still arent working right?

 

[dusktildawn48]

Yeah seems like its about 5c cooler.mnemonic but still hot

 

[iceclock]

i dont get it you get it and still overheats something doesnt add up

 

[Andrew Buck]

Tighten the cooler as much as you can. Apply equal pressure to the CPU.

 

[iceclock]

its either your not installing your cls watercooling system or you got 2 badlucks of 2 batches of cpu+mobos.

i was reading on oc.net that the L3 batch of 4790ks are from this past december and run alot hotter. i'm see if my microcenter has the next batch probably tomo and ill get back to ya guys to let ya know if theres a difference.

 

[iceclock]

u can always bring it in for diagnosis. i think it be worth a shot

ive used 3 different coolers and its been high with all. my thermaltake frio extreme had my 2500k at 4.5 with no problems.

 

[Andrew Buck]

Make sure to apply really tightly. They take pressure to reach the TIM more.

 

[iceclock]

have you considered bringing in your computer for diagnosis?

 

[dusktildawn48]

Bring it in to microcenter?

 

[Andrew Buck]

Bring it in to microcenter?

Nope, as I said before, bring it to a PC repair shop. They can test it for you.

 

[iceclock]

microcenter or pc repair shop they both can diagnose it microcenter builds pc lols

This does seem odd, when you tested the different cpu coolers did you use the correct parts including backplate and make absolutely sure it was the right orientation?

 

[dusktildawn48]

Yeah but like I said my friends cpu is running hot too. Look up 4790k batch L3 and youllsee other people talking how hot these get

 

[iceclock]

u could always exchanged it for a 4770k

Looks like my 4670K. I have the same temps with that voltage. If I go 1.23 or up it will go pass 90º, even with the H100

Same with my 4770K. Not sure why it is so hot, delidding is an option, but I am not voiding the warranty.

 

[RobCrezz]

Just sounds like your OC is making it too hot TBH, Haswells run hot, even with the new TIM on Devils Canyon - only reduces temps by a few degrees.

Yeah but here's the thing, in an earlier post dusktilldawn48 wrote: "so i reset all my bios to default and primed it, it turbos to 4.4 and after about 16 mins it jumps to 90C. " At stock speed/voltage/wattage, the 4790K should NOT be getting anywhere near 90C. If he's experience these kind of temps at stock speed/voltage with both his and his friends chip, to me that says the chip is not the problem. My 4790K with a Noctua NH-U14S cooler (single fan with voltage reduction adaptor to reduce fan speed) at stock speed with prime95 jumpes from about 33C to 54C with all cores 100%, then once prime95 starts pushing the wattage up by itself (a known issue with the current version of prime95) I find that once the wattage has gone from 88W to about 130W my core temps go up to 68C.

This is all still well below what dusktilldawn48 is seeing.

That isn't really a lot. When I run prime I'd spike to ~85-90 degrees within roughly 20 minutes on 4x4.4ghz, as my cpu vcore somehow goes up to 1.56v even though I set it static on 1.135v. Any other test (AIDA64, Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. OCCT or performance tests) on the other side wouldn't get me over 68°C being with a Scythe Mugen 4 (quite cheap one, but still sufficient it seems), average temps on torture tests being 60-62 degrees. Under normal work or gaming I don't even hit 50 degrees average. I'm still struggling a bit on getting my rig stable, though. After I figured temps aren't the problem I got rewarded with nice bsod's (that now after a BIOS update seem to have evened out tho).
