[SOLVED] I7-7700k and evga clc 280

[arissoriano]

so i just recently upgraded my cpu cooler from h80i gt to egva clc 2080

The reason i upgraded it is because i was getting BSOD
Clock watchdog so i was thinking may be my computer was over heating. Since sometimes while playing game it would just stop. (Freeze) and i cant do anything but reset it. Anyway i was wondering if my temp is fine or should have been better.

Idles at 35c

10 mins stress test using aida64

75 max

I havent play games with the new cooler yet so i dont know if i would get a bsod again or it would froze up again.

P.S thermal paste is "arctic silver 5"

Your CPU won’t throttle or shutdown until it gets upwards of 90c. I have the same cpu @ 4.7ghz on air and I’ll spike to the low 80’s with a good load.

Coincidentally I was running into the same error just a few days ago. It’s usually caused by driver errors. Mine was most likely caused by using my boot drive on new Ryzen based PC’s I’ve built recently. This causes windows to install unnecessary drivers.

I’d try uninstalling all graphics and device drivers and then running DDU. If this doesn’t solve your issue a clean windows install cleared it up completely for me.

Under 80C during stress testing is good so you shouldn't get BSOD or shutdowns due to overheating. Try gaming again, if it does display a BSOD then take a picture of the error and upload it here so we can further assist you. If the CPU is overclocked revert it back to stock for now.

Ok we'll i havent really done any games on the new cooler yet but ive been running some stress test. Right now im running

Prime 95 2.6.6

Blend
4

So far after 2-3 mins one of the core went to 87.

Idk if my cooler is doing just fine or my cpu is really getting hot

For my Intel testing I use Prime95 V26.6 Small FFT's for about 30 mins. Monitor the temps with CoreTemp & HWmonitor.

 

[arissoriano]

Last time i had a BSOD with my old cooler was

CLOCK WATCHDOG


But ill get back to you guys after couple of hours of playing.

Oh and yea what was your highest temp running small fft?

Mine right now is at

3 cores 80c
1 core went to 87c

Blend test

And i put 4 instead of the default 8

Those temps are "ok" as you won't really have that sort of stress on the CPU unless your rendering video. I can't speak for the 7700K but when I had my 4770K @4.4ghz on a Corsair H100i the highest temp was was 83C I believe (its been awhile).

Ok thank you hopefully i wont get any bsod anymore. By the way any recommendation for a thermal paste? Or the one i used is fine? Arctic silver 5

 

[arissoriano]

so far no BSOD, but highest temp i got while playing dota 2 for an hour is 75 quality was on high and ultra

Good! You Arctic Sliver 5 is good.
