LOSING MY MIND WITH i7-2600

Go to solution Solved by Jurrunio,

I think you havent tightened the cooler down enough.

 

As for the buying 2600k part, why? Keep your money instead, not worth it.

I'm seriously on the edge to just throw my Cryorig H7 out the god damned window.

 

I've installed it 5 times and tried 5 different pastes... 

and still my i7-2600 idles at 40/50c (hwmonitor shows 50c at one moment, then 40c later...) and in-game I can hit upward of 85C!!!

 

What can I POSSIBLY BE DOING WRONG...

Please help me save my Cryorig and my window.

Replace the cooler. You'd have thought you would have realised that after re-pasting once!

 

If it is still doing it on a new/spare cooler, you have a CPU problem.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

I think it's a CPU problem. Stock and this cooler work the same.

And it's a new cooler so it's not that.

Chuck another CPU in that board and try your coolers again. That'd be the next step. Just go for the cheapest piece of rubbish CPU and see how it performs :)

I'm wanting to bet it's a CPU problem... might honestly replace the whole system, but RAM prices are huge so we'll see. Might just get a 3770/4770 tbh lol.

If you have the requirement to overclock then sure. My daily driver currently is a 3770 with a GTX1080, don't think there's anything it can't handle generally.

I was also thinking of 3770k because I have 16GB RAM @ 1666, also the Cryorig. I'll most likely be getting that and just hitting the max OC possible.

Well again, if you have the need to overclock (I have no interest in it) then yes an unlocked chip is the only way to go..

Get a 4770k or 4790k and oc the living daylights out of it. Mine runs at 4.4 Ghz and I havent been in a situation once where I wished for more raw cpu power, since I got it in 2013.

They Cryorig H7 is a good cooler... no need to replace it.

You'd hope he'd have worked that one out...

False, sandy bridge "locked" chips allow you to raise the multiplier. K chips simply have a higher limit for it. The 2600 can go up to a 42x multiplier, enough for a decent overclock.

Definitely don't spend money on a cpu that is only 5% faster.

Thanks for being pedantic but I was merely stating you need a K chip to overclock.

And I was stating that you are wrong. I don't see how that's being pedantic.

I'm mainly changing it because these temps aren't normal and also I want to OC. Don't really have money for a 6th gen unlocked tho

 

@Sauron can't OC non-K on my current board.

What motherboard is that? You can overclock sandy non-k chips on the same motherboards where you can overclock k chips.

I'll need to get a K mobo, current one is a generic H61

With an h61 you couldn't overclock a k chip either. For that you need a p67, z68 or z77 board. Either way the cpu itself has nothing to do with the temperature problems you're having. Check the bios to make sure it's not running your fans in "silent mode" or anything like that.

Wow I didn't know that. On the other hand I've never really dealt with regular Sandy Bridge in any way, but thats pretty cool. So for gamers there wasn't any incentive to buy a K-type chip in that generation, huh? I mean a 4.2Ghz quad-core was pretty much enough for every game back then. I wouldn't know, because back then I played vidya gaems on a Dell Inspiron Laptop in 720p low settings.

Yeah, that's why in later generations Intel completely locked non k chips and gave them a lower base speed.
