Poor Cooler I think

[MatthewJ]

So I run an Intel i5 4670K with a H60 (corsair) CPU loop... When playing Titanfall I ran up a temp if 70*C... I ran a stress test in Prime95 and.. well... THIS

 

That took 30 seconds... on idle I run 40*c... THis cooler is on correctly running a pull system witth the provided fan. Why in just 30 seconds did the core temp go up to 90*c?

Got a video

 and my cooler is set like THIS.

 

I used Cool Masters E2 Gold Thermal compund

Prime95 is a fuck your system test.

 

If it doesn't hit that in normal applications you should be ok.

Prime95 runs unreasonable voltages on Haswell. 

 

H60 is not a quality AIO. It's a very cheap AIO and should be seen and used as such. Is this old H60 or the 2013 version?

Prime95 pushes your CPU to 100% and that is the only time you should be in the 80s, around 70 is warm but shouldn't degrade the life of your CPU.

[Albatross]

Don't use Prime95 on Haswell. I would suggest you try Intel Burn Test, Aida64 or something else.

 

I'd hate to think that your H60 runs that much worse than a CM Hyper 212 EVO...

Not so smart but I just checked the back of the manual and it does say 2013 in the small text something liek "Corsair... blah blah blah 2013 blah blah" so I would assume.

If you cpu is hitting 90c in prime that probably means you are in the okay zone for normal every day applications. Prime over volts your cpu past what your bios voltage is so don't worry about that. Use intel extreme tuning utility if you really want to stress you cpu properly. Test for a couple hours and that means you are completely stable.

Next time you run prime95 set the voltage to manual don't leave it on Auto for the CPU and you'll be safe.

If it's the original H60, it has ribbed tubing and a plain matte plastic square block like this

 

 

If it's the H60 (2013), it has smooth tubing and a H100i-esque block like this

 

 

As long as you leave your voltages on manual mode in tests like Prime95 (I think Aida64 does the same wacky voltage thing if you set it to auto mode or something), it won't really hurt your CPU. Not that you need the test very often. 

 

Though keep a lookout for very abnormally high temps, weird noises, or no fan noise at all and the usual symptoms that your AIO is failing.

This is somewhat solved but ima mark it as solved anyway.
Just gonna have to get a H100i or something later this year
