Should the 4790K run hotter than the 4690K at stock speed?
I had a 4690K that I could run at stock and it would only reach 60C on occasion while gaming for extended periods.
Now I installed a 4790K and it has been running hot since. I've removed/reapplied/reseated the cooler multiple times, sometimes getting better temps. Used less/more thermal paste.
But the load temps are hitting 75C+ after only 10-15mins of gameplay.
I have an Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 that I used on both CPUs. It worked great with the 4690K, but not so great with the 4790K.
I looked a couple times after removing the cooler to see that the thermal paste hadn't been spread evenly, as if there wasn't an even contact. I think thats the cheap heatsink that only has 2 screws to hold it down to the bracket.
Should I get a better aftermarket cooler? I don't have a stock cooler or else I'd try it.
