thermal paste comparison please help

[9justinas9]

at the moment i use i5 4690k cpu with cooler master hyper 212 evo and TIM that came with it

when my cpu is at 4.7ghz and 1.076 volts runing prime 95 small ffts temperature goes up to 83c on 3rd core and 69c on core 0 temperature seems odd because devil's cannyon was suppose to have upgraded TIM in between chip and metal cover but diffrence seems really odd. with my hand i checked even though it seems venture temperature beside the cpu and it was cool almost as ambient temperature so i unpluged fan and waited for a few seconds nothing. after a minute heatsinc was warm so i plugged fan in. i reaplyed TIM few times and it couldnt have air in between. im planing to upgrade that paste to arctic MX2 or pay a lot more and go for MX4

but as i was rushing through forums people said that it wont make huge diffrence if upgraded to arctic silver5. im still suspicious that it could be TIM because its oddly high temp. only used for less than few months

furmark with r9 290 didnt helped temps eather but 4 120 1200rpm fans supply plenty of cool air in and out with neutral pressure.

 

so guys can you tell me is it worth spending money on new thermal paste to reduce temps? maby you use one of CM212 with aftermarket TIM whats your temps?

1.76 Volts :blink:

1.76 Volts :blink:

omg i forgot to put a zero it supposed to be 1.076 volts not 1.760

[9justinas9]

1.76 Volts :blink:

so can you help me with that?

4.7ghz on nearly stock voltage seems odd to me

[Vavetti]

so can you help me with that?

I personally wouldn't change out the thermal paste as temparature difference is approx 2 degrees. 

The 83 degrees is fine and you'll probably won't be getting that ever without running prime 95.

why? i run 4ghz stable on stock voltagebut when i start going higher it require a lot of volts to stabilise it. 4.4 at 1.3v and 4.6 at 1.39v i done it once just for a curriosity nothing i didnt use any torture apps though because i think it would have ended as BSOD. im not really great overclocker but yea. i thought it was a bad chip. also cinebench with 4.5 on 3.5v got me to 96c so i immediately downclocked it after benchmark. i can brag it was almost as good as 4770k  anyways can you help me with OP (thermal paaste) ?

i though CM included worse quality TIM for that price. and what is your cooler cpu and tim?

also isnt that odd that it has 14c diffrence between all cores?

It's good enough, I have a Hyper T4 on a FX-8350 stock with the included thermal paste. 

That temparature difference isn't really anything to worry about.

You're good 1-2 degrees is not worth it, just enjoy the pc man!

Nice pic!

what a hell t4 is almost the same as 212 evo

It is but then with AMD's mounting mechanism so it was easier for me
