Before overclocking I decided to launch Prime on the BIOS default settings and see what kind of temps I get. Turns out I'm getting around 50C.
So I then went to BIOS, put it at 4Ghz and disabled all the power saving settings and the like.
Used a guide just in case: https://youtu.be/MckeAmnDeTk
After that I ran Prime95 again only to see that my temps climbed to over 62C in like 20 seconds.
So then I reverted back to defaults and cleaned my Hyper 212 EVO of dust and re-applied the thermal paste. After that I did another test on default settings and had a small improvement in temps.
I then tried the 4Ghz clock without power saving settings again. No luck. Still goes over 62C in half a minute...
What's wrong? 🙁
