CPU overheating to 100 °C even when idle

[Daniel_s_j]

Hey my 6700K is overheating and thermal throttleing

So far I've tried a few thing..
Changing thermal paste - a pea size
Swap my Kraken X62 - which i found out had pumpfailure - for a intel stock to test it
Updated my bios

so I am lost guys..

my normal specs befor doing this was
6700k on a Gigabyte G1 z170x Mobo - With a NZXT Kraken X62
16 Gb dominator platinum 3200Mhz
1070 Asus
HX850i PSU
In an Evolve ATX Tempered case from Phanteks.

What stock cooler are you using? The 6700k doesn't come with one.

What it comes down to is the removal of heat is simple thermodynamics - if the heat sink is firmly attached properly and there's air going through the heatsink, it *will* lower the temperatures. If the fan is working, you either have an installation malfunction or a measurement malfunction.

I had a intel stock cooler from my last build..
I did press the four pins on the intel color firmely down so they clicked in, and gave it a good shake to test if it was placed correctly..
Is there any way that I can test for a measurement malfunction?

What was your last build? There's no real way to test for a sensor malfunction, though if the CPU is as hot as it says it is, you should be able to *feel* it when your hand is near it (though be very careful). It's most likely a cooler issue, however.

I had a 4770k that had a intel cooler with it.
Okay, I am having my AIO gooing through RMA and will borrow a AIO from a friend to test the situation.
tho the intel stock cooler is doing around 55-60 degrees on idle and jumping to 90 doing smaller tasks..

You may want to check just how much thermal paste you put on the thing.

When you have it off, it may be worth taking a picture.

Too much paste is every bit as bad as too little.

I have done it multiple times before, and it have never been an issue before, so i doubt that it's the thermal paste that's the problem

Any chance the voltage is messed up. Anything showing high usage even at idle?

Normally cpus do not just heat up for no reason.

I took a look at the bios while it was slowly raising, it only maxed out at 1.2xxV but that was for like around 2-3 sec, then it went down to 1.0V or lower afterwards.

Take your side panel off and make sure all four pins are pushed through from behind the cpu socket. Stock cooler isn't exactly practical for a 6700k but there is no reason it should be anywhere close to 100c, especially at idle.
