Question I7 8086k ruined my computer (how do I fix?)

[Bean.baba]

My i7 8086k broke my computer how do I fix?
I replaced my old i5 with an i7 8086k because of game stutters and now I get 20fps.

Specs,
32gb ram
500gb ssd
Gtx 1070
I7 8086k
Msi z370 Sli plus

Your Motherboard seems to be incompatible with your 8086k, I suggest you go get it refunded and buy another processor...

 

[Bean.baba]

I did a little research before I bought and it said they should be compatible.

 

[sizzling]

Ignore the above. It could easily be something else.

You only changed the cpu?

What speed (GHz) and temperature is the cpu running at when at Windows desktop and in game?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

That motherboard is compatable with the 8086k. If you had an incompatible board it wouldn't boot.

What are your temperatures?
Is this a newer install of win10?

 

[Bean.baba]

My temps are usually 90-99 Celsius

I installed windows 10 about a year ago and have the latest update

 

[NightHawkRMX]

My temps are usually 90-99 Celsius

The CPU is thermal throttling and causing stutter.

What cooler are you using?
Did you replace the thermal paste?

An intel stock cooler for a locked I5 is insufficient for an 8086k.

Is the processor correctly identified (8086K) upon power on self test when hardware summary is shown early in power on display?

As the other poster above correctly noted, I can only pray you did not think a factory provided cooler from an 8400, inadequate even for the 8400 itself under gaming loads, would even remotely be sufficient for an 8086K...

SImply swapping CPUs and powering on thinking /hoping it will all just work itself out in Windows with regards to cores/thread detection is also suspect...

How many cores/threads (logical processors) are currently shown in task manager/performance?

 

[Bean.baba]

I’m using factory fan and I did reapply thermal paste, but if it is a heat problem wouldn’t it have ran good before it got hot?

 

[Bean.baba]

As soon as I put the cpu in and turned it on I noticed a large difference in loading time and fps

 

[mdd1963]

a factory fan from an i5 designed for a 65w TDP cpu is 200% completely inadequate for an 8086K....(which can radiate 135-150 watts under load)

You are thermally throttling....BIG TIME.

Get a cooler.

A good one would be nice... (If your case is wide enough, a Noctua NH-D15 is a nice start, look for an AIO/240 mm radiator solution....)

1) Clear CMOS https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025368/processors.html

2) Replace heatsync with something beefier. A be quiet! Pure rock is a cheap option. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OB40ULU/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

[Bean.baba]

I’m going out to buy a fan right now. Thank you for the help I’ll let you know if performance improves.

 

[Bean.baba]

Is there anything else I should buy to help it while I’m out?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Don't know unless you change the cooler and clean CMOS.

 

[Bean.baba]

Ok thank you

 

[Bean.baba]

Would a Corsair h115i platinum do the job?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Yep, thats a good one.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Just make sure your case can support a 280mm rad.

 

[Bean.baba]

My cpu is now running good but my FPS is still down

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Temps?

Did you clear CMOS? How many cores show up in task manager? What are your CPU clocks during gaming?

 

[Bean.baba]

CPU temp is 36c and system is 33c I don’t think I have cleared CMOS I have 4.3ghz I’m task manager and not sure about cpu clocks during games

 

[Bean.baba]

I’m looking at bios rn

 

[Bean.baba]

Should I put my fans on all full speed?
