i7 6700K Reachin 90 degrees celsius during Idle.

[henrikbreime0]

I just upgraded my processor from i5-6600 to i7-6700K. Now, the processor I used before, didn't reach 90 degrees in idle, it was stable at 40. I am using stock CPU cooler, and I am aware that I need to upgrade. But is stock CPU cooler that bad? That I get constant 90 degrees celsius?
Now I have not OC, I just got this processor.

redo thermal paste and make sure the cooler is correctly installed also working. If not, simply buy another cooler like Cryorig H7 or Evo 212

CPU cooler is either not mounted correctly, there is no airflow through the case in sufficient quantity or the CPU fan is not running. Something is definitely wrong. I'd bet the cooler heatsink is not mounted correctly. Likely there is a problem with one corner not being down or something along those lines. Or you didn't use thermal paste between the heatsink and CPU lid. Or used too much. Something definitely not right.

You need to take it apart and figure out what. If you run it like that it will burn up in no time at all. Even at idle.

It's also possible that you didn't install the CPU correctly, bent something and a direct short is causing the CPU to overheat. That's a long shot though. Usually there will be other signs of a short if you bend pins.

A stock 6600 cooler is inadequate for a 6700K....

YOu can lock the multiplier at 35X-37X (if you have a Z170/Z270 mb) to lessen the clock speed while waiting on a new cooler...

I am very embarrassed, it seems that i didn't press hard enough down on the CPU cooler... I need to hit the gym-.- Thank you all though for the fast responds

Yeah, I was 90% certain that was the problem. Glad you got it sorted. Good luck.
