7700k reaching 100c

[balalev14]

Hi guys!
I have a big problem. I have a 7700k and its reaching 100C when im playing or something similar. No OC, no XMP. I dismantled and put it together several times, and people in service too. I have coolermaster 212 EVO cooler.
my setup:
Gigabyte GA-Z270-HD3P
i7 7700k with COOLERMASTER Hyper 212 EVO
HyperX 16GB Predator DDR4 3333MHz CL16 KIT
Gigabyte GTX970
Samsung 960 EVO 250gb
WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm
CHIEFTEC CTG-650C 650W
COOLERMASTER Silencio 550

Thank you for the help!

Hi, Try testing different cooler and, if still the same, I'd RMA the CPU.

how hot is it idling? normal idling temps should be 45-55 degrees Celsius

Yeah normal temp max 40-45 C

While the EVO 212 isn't the best cooler it should keep that CPU within safe limits at stock, any chance you forgot to remove the plastic cover on the heatsink when you installed it?

dang, my 7700k idles at 50 with a cryorig h7

No way. i didn't forgot.
Here my normal temp:

AIDA stability seems okay, but when i'm gaming 30-40 minutes, it reaches 100C or more

After few minutes CS GO

I know its a pain in the ass but apply a better thermal paste.

Yeah, i will try it, but i don't know it will works or not.

 

[sickaid]

Tell us how it went.

Ok guys. I bought a noctua nh-d15, and its great. My CPU temperature max is 85-87C, when i run stress test 20-30 minutes. I think its great. Or not the best, but knowing the 7700k s... I think its okay. Thank you everything!

 

[sickaid]

Hmmm. So your 212 was defective?

I think you should check your vcore voltage. Maybe set it manually to 1.225v Those temps are near the same I got with NH-D15S + i7-7700K at 4.9GHz 1.35V stress testing.

I dont know exatly yet.

Ok, I take a shot, please check it! Is that correct?

Ok, I dont know its great or not. On Auto it was 1.270V and i did it to 1.225V. Now maximum temperature is 78C.
I dont know it. My Gigabyte motherboard wrongly set the vcore? Or what is this? Pls explain it. I dont know much about overclocking. Thank you

 

[volkgren]

With vcore on Auto it will go higher than what it shows there. Setting it manually will keep it from going higher. Using HWInfo64 or some other program you can monitor vcore while you are stressing your CPU and see what it is actually doing. 78C sounds much better.

The guy said he doesnt know anything about overclocking.Why you suggest him to mess with the voltage?Just disable the TURBO BOOST or "maximum performance" (i dont know how its called in your bios).Doing that your core and voltage will stay stable at 4.2 resulting in lower temps.These "boost" things in bios are useless anyway and cause instabilities in many situations.Later if you want to overclock do your research and go fot it.

Okay, I reseted the voltage, and i turned off the turboboost. Maximum 74C. Thank you!
