i5-4690k Overheating on insane amounts

[Pcnloladdict]

Hello, So I fully cleaned my computer recently and had to remove and replace everything, after this at first I didn't notice but now I made some checks on it and my cpu temperature keeps staying 79-85 during normal loads and 65-70 while idle, it even went up to 95 under heavy loads, the cpu fan seems to be working just fine, I've no idea what could possibly cause this issue.
Please help.

did u re-seat the cpu and thermal compound???

If you removed the heat sink you need to clean and replace the thermal paste between the cpu and heat sink.

 

[Pcnloladdict]

@hellfire13 the cpu was seated properly, what do you mean by thermal compound?

 

[Pcnloladdict]

@faalin oh so I should reapply the thermal paste ?

 

[Hellfire13]

yeah...exactly...
if the thermal paste is not applied properly, it can lead to discrepancies...

 

[Pcnloladdict]

Alright I'll do that and see how it goes, also what is the stock voltage of the i5 4690k?

Alright so the voltage seems to be around 1.10 volts, and the wattage goes around 65-70watt so that should be ok ?

 

[Hellfire13]

luks ok...
but are those watts in idling???

 

[Pcnloladdict]

No those are the watts under load it goes down to 20-30 while idle, even the clocking seems fine, the overheating is the only problem it seems

 

[Hellfire13]

well...then u need to reinstall the heatsink again and see whether tht takes care of the issue...else u might have to consider extra cooling solution...

 

[Pcnloladdict]

Alright thanks a ton, thats exactly what I'll do!!

 

[Hellfire13]

sure...keep us posted...

If anyone is still following this post, I replaced the paste ,the temperatures dropped, I did the Intel test and it passed and right after my pc froze and now it's stuck in a reboot loop...

 

[Hellfire13]

r u getting post???
which screen does it loop from???

 

[Pcnloladdict]

It doesn't turn on at all, only the fans start and the led and then it reboots, I actually used a contact cleaner on all the plugs from the psu and after that it turned on and has been working properly since and yeah the overheating is also fixed, still don't actually know whats the actual cause of that loop issue though

 

[Hellfire13]

as long as it is working properly, thr is nothing more to worry about...glad u fixed it...cheers...

 

[Pcnloladdict]

Yeah!, Was wondering though, the cpu runs at like 36 degrees while idle 40-50 under normal loads and 60-75 under heavier loads (100%), are those temperatures acceptable?

 

[Hellfire13]

perfectly...75 is kinda the threshold...if it crosses 80-85 consistently, thn u need to worry...

 

[Pcnloladdict]

That should be fine then I guess, it stays at around 71-74 while on max usage with Overwatch, it only hit 80 while doing some benchmarks, nothing further than that.

65-70C at idle? Did anyone else notice that? You should reseat your CPU cooler, that's not normal.

That aint right:
1. Check your thermo compound.
2, Open your case and check all fans are working when turned on.
3. If you are already overclocking it maybe you're pushing it too far?

yeap we noticed it over a week ago and he fixed at least 2 days ago.

Oh, I've gotta get my eyes checked then. Heh. Nevermind!
