Broken i5 4690K?

[ericb0207]

Bought my pc used 3 years ago and i've had issues with my CPU temps.

Right now i'm cooling it with a Noctua NH-U9B SE2 running at max speed (1800rpm) with liquid metal in a well ventilated case (6 fans). The temps are still horrible.

I used to run my cpu with regular thermal paste so there is no fault in the liquid metal application. I also ran it with the stock intel cooler at first with similar temps.

 

Uploaded screenshots with the stock frequency (3.6ghz) and another one with a modest overclock i should be able to run without problem.

Is my 4690k completely bonkers or am i missing something?

Did you ever delid?

It's not delidded, and I don't think the liquid metal should be the problem since i used regular paste with pretty much the same thermals before

 

As for the airflow im able to run a gtx 1080 at 2.05ghz with thermals below 80, the cpu doesnt output wattage even close so i dont understand why it heats so much

Did you try reapplying the liquid metal?   How's the airflow?

Wow 95c package.  That is not good.  WIthout overclock you should get 40's and 50's load.  With a overclock you can do 60's and 70's c on load.

@Turtle Rig yeah, seen it peak to 105c at times hahah. Honestly no idea why it does this

Delid and replace the tim under the IHS with liquid metal. Use clear nail polish on the exposed caps/resistors.

That is not good.  Your computer should shutdown once it reaches TJmax.  Use arctic silver mx paste and tighten the screws manually then with screw drivers to get a nice fit without chipping the motherboard.  After that let us know the temps.  The paste you used is suspect and possibly a loose block.  Also go to BIOS and set as optimized defaults and let us know.

Went out and bought a 212 black edition (slightly better cooling then the standard 212), installed it and made sure i did everything perfect every single step.

Temps are still way to high..

That is not the cooler/thermal paste problem, at stock frequency you should not have such temps even with stock Intel cooler with drop of mustard instead of thermal paste. I think the thermal paste inside the CPU got bad - either you constantly had it too hot or it just gave up because of the age (was a known problem on some Intel CPUs). You have to remove the lid on your CPU and replace the stock thermal paste with something decent. There are a lot of video guides on YT on how to delid the CPU. Go for it.

Does it throttle?The CPU temp sensor is not exactly on the die so check if the cpu cap is fully covered.
