Hello everyone,
I assembled my new PC a few days ago and everything is running just fine except I get very high temperatures on my 4770 with the stock cooler. When I run Prime95 with 8 threads HWMonitor says it goes as high as mid 90°C which is much higher then my old PC. I thought that maybe I mounted the heat sink incorrectly or that the original intel tim didn't spread well, so I removed it, cleaned everything with isopropyl alcohol and applied some new tim (arctic silver 5), but the temperatures are just a few degrees lower.
Also I find it odd that the CPU doesn't throttle at all at this temperatures, it just stays at maximum boost at 3.9 GHz all time during the Prime95 test.
Is this normal (I'm pretty sure it's not) and what could be the problem?
Any help would be very appreciated.
