Hi, I just bought a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo and I installed it correctly I think, then I overclocked it to 4.4GHz and ran Prime95 on max stress. and I was getting 100C! Is this normal for this cooler? I have seen people overclock to 4.6/7 and not go over 70C.

prime95 is a good stress test but it is known to Overvolt Haswell chips if your vcore mode is set to adaptive.

 

if you stress test with prime95 You Must SET CPU Vcore Mode to Manual

 

Use Hwmonitor to monitor your max vcore.

 

if you set it for 1.25 in adaptive mode P95 is prolly kicking it up to 1.4V

What should I set the Voltage to? BTW I have an i5 4670K

Just the heatsink?

yea remove it clean the bottom of the evo with isoproyl alcohol and the cpu then reapply thermal compound and re mount it

i would start at 1.25 V

 

if your stable for 8 hours P95 great!

 

then you can begin reducing it!

 

if your not stable for 8 hours.

 

begin bumping it up.

 

give my OC guide a ride. lots of good intel inside.

But I just mounted it not even 5 hours ago.

sounds like a poor mount relay dont worry its not un common if nothing @ProKoN suggests id remount it run tests again

Also I set it to maximum heat on Prime95. Would this be causing it?

small ffts ????? yep that can do it

 

Monitor your voltage very closely while running P95

I just tried blend and I got around 80-90C is this still bad? I will try setting the voltage to 1.25.

 I dont know

 

what is your Vcore under load?

 

What is your room temperature?

Should I try to increase the voltage to 1.4 or 1.5?

No you shouldnt

 

you are already to hot at 1.378V

 

you need to reduce your voltage Not increase it

 

temps should be 85C or lower.

I tried decreasing it to 1.25 and I got an instant blue screen. Sorry, I am new to CPU overclocking :)

thats fine bud

 

we were all newbies at one point.

 

it takes time to learn.

 

read my guide.

 

watch the videos

 

You will feel more confident after you do and it will answer alot of your questions.

 

take your time, go slow and learn bro, just learn :)

I don't think anyone has brought this up, but maybe the OP applied to much TIM? Possibly re-applying it (or getting some sexy Arctic Silver 5) might help...

uhm 1.378V on a haswell chip at 100% load

 

no way in hell a 212 can dissipate that type of heat at room temp :)

 

But anything is possible!

 

evo 212 is good for 1.2-1.25 volts on Haswell

try for 4.1-.4.3GHz at 1.25V

 

or pick yourself up a better cooler.

Do you think I would be fine running it at 4.4 without doing stress tests and only games? I never go anywhere near 90C while playing games.

 

ya thats fine.

 

I really promote  stability when overclocking.

 

Its your computer, your parts , your experience.

 

Do whatever makes you happy :)  Give er a try and see how she goes!

First to consider, all CPUs are different, the results you get are going to be unique to your chip.

 

I would not push your CPU higher than 1.3v, according to the Haswell overclocking guide provided by @ProKoN

 

It sounds like you mounted your 212 EVO incorrectly, or used too much thermal paste.  I have an i5-4670k + 212 EVO, my i5 is OC'd to 4.7Ghz @ 1.275v never exceeding 77C, and that was only during a stress test.

 

What motherboard do you have? My overclocked was achieved with Asus' Auto-Overclock Utility, so I would say give your auto-overclock a try, and if you dont like it, revert back to where you last were.  Also, your CPU and Cache don't have to be 1:1, in fact, you will be getting better stability having cache a bit below core.  Follow Prokon's guide, and be patient with your OC, it takes time to get it right.
