Room is at a controlled 25 degrees celsius

1. I might try that when I get the fans in 2. I'll try that when I get the fans in 3. I'm getting these temps without OC 4. I'll try that if the fans don't make it work 5. Do you mean the CPU or the CPU cooler? The other cores were colder, but it was probably because of the nature of AIDA's stress test, and I stopped it as fast as possible, so it might have only started spinning up on the 3rd core first. In 3DMark I had about the same temps across all cores. I am definitely not delidding lol

Also I have about 500 lower score on graphics and 1k lower score on CPU compared to: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/1725158 I def need to order some more intake fans.

Okay, I ran 3DMark Time Spy. I got 5540 (which is a bit lower than other 1070+7700k tests i've seen), and what I've also noticed, is that my GPU was also up around 80C. CPU was between 55-70c in graphics tests, and went up to 86c in CPU test.

D15 looks like it will fit in my case. Cheaping out bites me in the ass yet again

Okay, so I've enabled "Smart Fan Control" (essentially, fan curves) for my intake and exhaust (CPU cooler already had it enabled). I'm seeing better temp "recovery" after getting a hotter, but my intake is very noisy lol Yup, I will replace and add another fan for intake, because this is not PWM. I did not remove most of it, and I'll do a gaming + 3DMark test in a bit.

The temp did drop about 5c. It 's not that messed up, theres just a bit of a "dent" in the thermal paste. Cooler is thight. Fan at front actually came with the case and not blowing that much. I'll check out BIOS.

I have an intake in the front and an exhaust in the back in a Silencio 550, and I have another fan on the CPU cooler mounted on the right, blowing towards the exhaust. I don't know much about airflow stuff so this might be a completely idiotic setup lol

I've heard that, but my idle temps are also quite high (around 40 degrees). I think it's probably a thermal paste problem?

I assembled my PC a while ago, and today I decided to try to overclock it. Before doing it, I ran a stress test to see temps, but immediately after starting the test, my 3rd core jumped up to 94 degrees. When installing my cooler, I accidentally touched the preapplied thermal paste on the cooler. Is that the problem?
