So i decided to wait a couple of weeks and see if temps get worse with time. And i was right. I'm not sure what could cause this. It might be what ProKoN said. As you can see in my previous post, temps looked fine again after reapplying the TIM. Now here is a screenshot of the temps i'm getting again, only after two minutes of testing: As you can see the Core 0 is reaching stupid temps again. And it's always that core... Room temp is 23.5 degrees celsius.

Very informative, thank you! Yeah, i have tried reapplying the MX4 multiple times now. With different amounts of it, and the core 0 is always 8-10 degrees hotter than the other cores. Now i'm back at 4.2GHz with 1.25V. Max temp is 77 on Core 0 while the other cores are around 67-70. The board sits vertically yeah. ( Here is my setup btw: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/151194-my-dreambuild-nzxt-h440-matte-blackred-780ti-kngpn-edition-give-me-name-suggestions/ ) I dont know if i should try killing it and RMA-ing it though. Its really not a golden chip but yeah... i'll see how it does in the next month or so and if it really sucks ill say bye -bye to it. Maybe wait for a 4970K in september. Thanks again. All of you! ^^

I replaced the TIM again, now max temps don't exceed 70 degrees, just like the first time i did this. (core0 is only 69 max) Could it be that with time this gets worse so quickly? (sorry for the double post)

It might be, ill test it with another cooler now. I'm sorry if it was not clear that im still using the IHS. ill edit the post.

Just for clarification, i did delid the CPU, and replaced the TIM, but the IHS is back on it, and it makes good contact with the H110 block.

OCCT uses an integrated HW monitor right? So i'm guessing that could also be inaccurate. ASUS AI suite shows completely different temps. Did not check there before. What other Software do you recommend using for temps? I checked the contact with the cpu and the waterbloc, it seems to be completely fine btw.

Hi everyone! I had a topic about my 4770K CPU before, and i had to accept that it's a really bad chip. The highest oc. i could achieve on it was 4.2GHz with 1.25V, but recently i had to leave it at stock settings since my temps went f***ing crazy. Now its running stock, turbo up to 3900MHz obviously and i ran some OCCT stress-tests. First test results: Temp max values in celsius: Core 0: 96 (what the hell?) Core 1: 85 Core 2: 78 Core 3: 80 Package: 87 CPU Vcore reading is: 1.26V - is this even normal? Second test results were the same voltage wise, with H110 stock fans: Core 0: 94 Core 1: 72 Core 2: 69 Core 3:71 Package: 82 As you can see the core 0 temp is ridiculous , even the core 1 is too high for stock settings, voltage is on auto etc. And there is a Corsair H110 cooling this chip. The CPU was delidded and thermal paste used is an Arctic MX4. Still using the IHS with the replaces TIM. Edit: room temps went up since it's almost summer time, but not this drastically (from 21-22 to 23-24) What should i do? After deliding, and testing temps were fine, max values were around 82 degrees with the 1.25V on the core and 4.2GHz oc. But after like 15 days temps started going absolutely crazy. I have checked the paste and all, it was fine, not too much, just the right amount... Any ideas what i should do? Set voltages to manual? What should i check? I'm seriously out of ideas, and i'm also pretty disappointed. Thank you in advance!

I completely agree with you. I do want to get an EK waterblock for it at some point. Until then i ordered an NZXT Kraken G10 and will use it with a H75 combined. I also ordered a copper shim to put on the GPU since the red vram heatplate would not allow the installation without it. The block of the H75 (and pretty much all of the aio's) would get in contact with the heatplate and so it would not sit on the gpu perfectly . I don't want to glue heatspreaders to the vram modules, i want to keep the heatplate. I'm really curious how it performs after that.

So as promised i did some overclocking with the card. Highest core clock speed was 1352 MHz. Unfortunately i didn't take a screenshot of that. Also i didn't want to push my card for a long period of time over 80 degrees celsius. This was all at 1.33V on the core. Here's a screenshot of my actual game stable 1293 MHz oc, which is actually set to 1300 but because of the temperature it will clock down a bit:

Did not have enough time for a lot of testing unfortunately yet, but i will post it here soon. I'm really curious myself what it can do. ASIC quality is 67.4% which is average as far as i know. Thanks everyone for the awesome feedback btw. Feels good that you guys like it! ^^

It's pretty decent, definitely quieter than my previous case, the Corsair 350D. But when my fans are on performance mode ( around 1500 rpm when benchmarking/folding ) you can clearly hear them. While gaming however with the Razer Megalodon on my head i can barely hear them. With fans at low rpm it's really nice and quiet, i can peacefully sleep 2 meters away from it. So all in all, its better than a case without sound dampening foam, but it's not exactly a truly quiet case imho.

I might go SLI in the future. Had a 650W before, i was going to make sure i have enough headroom left.

It's amazing really. Very easy to build. Some things you have to keep in mind that the back panel has sound dampening foam on it just like all the panels really, so there is not so much space as u might think at first for cable routing /managing. A little more space would be better, but like this, the case is pretty slim, and i like that a lot. With individually sleeved cable it's definitely easier. Other than that u can hide a big bunch of cables in the PSU area which is the best i have seen so far. The fan hub in the back has a limit of 30 Watts which is to look out for. The H110 barely fit with these Bitfénix fans and the M6F, there is a 1-2 mm space left. These are the only things that i thought could be tricky.
