PC Temps are very high

[Juscallmesteve]

I have the NZXT H440 the 4790k (at Stock) and my cooler is a Swiftech H240-x

 

During Idle I can get anywhere from 50-70C. During Furmark CPU Stress test I get stable 70C furing Cinebench no more than 50C and during Prime 95 my CPU goes from whatever it was sitting at to 99C and then starts to climb more.

 

IDK what is going on. I re-seated the cooler on the CPU. I changed the Thermal paste to IC Diamond. I cant even OC this thing because of the stupid temperatures. Please help

 

I havent a clue what is going on.

Check your voltages, remount the cooler (again) and check that the pump works.

First things first, never use prime95 again, it over volts the crap out of haswell based cpu's. It will hurt your cpu if you keep running it. Use Intel extreme tuning utility or aida64 instead. Secondly idle  temps are not really important. however 70c isn't that terrible for stock clocks. It's a 4.4ghz turbo. So try to overclock what you can and see how high the voltage can go before heat becomes on issue in cpu benches. If you can push it to 1.3v and still stay under 84ish you are still in perfectly reasonable temp zones for realistic workloads.

Is the pump working? Touch it to feel for vibrations. Pump should always be at 100%

Pump is working, there are little particles in the liquid and I can see them move

Don't use Prime on Haswell CPUs. Use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility instead.

[Sauron]

Prime 95 is probably the issue. Don't use it.

On intel Extreme Tuning Utility CPU Benchmark I am getting temperatures at stock of 70c-80c

and in gaming?

and in gaming?

Un able to test due to no GPU at the moment and no games either....all still downloading

Rechecked thermal paste btw?

[Juscallmesteve]

Rechecked thermal paste btw?

Yes I reapplied the thermal paste.

Those particle probably aren't good...
