Hey guys, hoping you can help answer the following for me. I will keep it as short as possible.
I have 2 machines now. Machine A, which has been my primary gaming machine for the last 3 years, and Machine B which I just built last night to be a living room HT and maybe some casual gaming on. (specs below)
So Machine A, which has the 4670K in it at stock (had it OC’d to 4.2 but set to stock for comparison) has Hyper 212 with 2 HP SP 120s (2500 rpm fans) on it and Im getting 55-59ish on my hottest cores in games like Witcher 3 and Fallout 4.
But Machine B has a 4590 and with the STOCK COOLER from intel its getting 45-50 in those same games.
I don’t understand how this could be. The 4670K has a far better cooler on it.
Even in Prime 95 v 26.6 the stock cooler 4590 is outperforming the Hyper 212 4670K. Getting up to 68 Celsius on my hottest core on the 4670K and only 62-63 with stock cooler on 4590.
And before you ask if maybe I put the Heat sync on wrong, no. These have always been my temps (I used this 4670K on a z87 build 3 years ago and just upgraded to the z97 and got the same temps there)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
