Hello guys and girls.
I dont know where to start.
Okay, System specs firs:
ASUS Maximus Hero VIII Z170
Intel i7 6700k
EVGA 980ti SC+
G.Skill 3200mhz 16GB(2x8)
NZXT Kraken x61 AIO
Samsung 850 PRO 250GB
Corsair RM1000i
NZXT Noctis 450
I just contacted Intel support guy on live chat and his knowledge was non existent. I'm still pissed.
Soo. 4 months ago I started to build my new PC, part by part, each month 2 parts and about a month ago I had everything and was ready to put it all together.
Everything went smoothly, up untill I saw those crazy CPU temperature spikes on idle that 200 people on this forum are talking about, 200 threads yeah.
So I contacted Intel, and as soon as he heard what was going on he told me, SEND CPU TO US, we will send you a new one. I said okay, good guy intel. 10 days later, CPU arrived, 'problem' was still there. So I contacted Asus, thought it was maybe Motherboard sensor problem and that it sends wrong information. Asus also sent new Motherboard within two weeks. Still same thing.
What to do what to do? www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum
Might be Asus motherboard setting voltage too high on stock ? Almost 1.5 VOLTS under load, WHAAAA ?? 1.38-1.45 IDLE ? Jesus. ASAP i went to BIOS and set it to 1.20, Crashed under Intel stress test, so I set it to 1.25, works like charm. Zero spikes on idle, some spikes under heavy load(Intel stress test) but nothing above 53 degrees celsius. Which is normal.
My question is.
When i changed voltage i set it to Manual and set 1.25. I have heard its prefered to put it on Offset/Adaptive mode, and that maybe manual should be avoided(don't know why but ok). ?
I need some help with that.
And now, what i mentioned up here, is what guy at Intel Live Chat told me.
He told me to run diagnostics, so i did.
And when i asked him what should i do about crazy voltages and that i already set it to manual at 1.25 instead of freakin 1.5 volts, he kept saying that i should put it on auto and let it work like that.
Even tho i told him that CPU package under load(intel burn in test) at 1.5v hits almost 80 degrees celsius, and that isnt acceptable with this AIO. He said i should put it on auto because if i manually changed voltage that i overclocked it, but all i did was undervolt it so CPU doesnt die within first few months. Then he said again, put it on auto because i shouldnt touch voltage if i didnt overclock it. That guy had no idea what i was talking about. He didnt even knew what Kraken x61 is.
I told him that i will send him fried CPU after 3 months on 1.5, and he told me, Ok, send it we will send new one.
There is absolutely no way that I'm going to wait another 10 days after freaking 4 months without a PC.
Sorry for a long post and some useless informations but i had to.
Any help is appreciated.
