Hi guys,

 

this is my first post here.

 

Recently i have started seeing high temperature on my CPU i7 3820. I have changed thermal paste several times and tried with a different cooler and the temperature were the same. Yesterday i have bought a new one i7 4930k, and the temperature were the same again.

 

I use ASUS P9X79 motherboard, BIOS 4701.

 

Can the motherboard be the problem of my CPU heating?

And how can i check does my motherboard shows the right temperature?

 

CPU cooler: Cooler master hyper T4.

CPU: i7 4930k

RAM: Kingston HyperX beast 2133

No the mobo does not really affect the temps. How much thermal compond are you putting on?

It can't be the motherboard I suspect, maybe try getting a new cpu cooler and see if there is a difference?

 

remember to only put small amount of thermal paste, a grain of rice size. less is more.

Also, what are your temps?

Thank you for fast reply.

 

When i was changing the termal paste i watched the youtube tutorial for it and everybody was talking of grain of rice size, so i used that method.

 

When i saw the high temperature for the fitst time it was in winter, so the ambiant temperature were not a problem.

 

Temperature on ASUS AI suite 2 softwere is 80℃ and the WARNING sign apearse, On realtemp and speccy are 90-99℃

What is your voltage on the CPU? <- need to know this before anything else.

 

Although, I will say that the Hyper T4 is going to have a hell of a time keeping the X79/X99 chips cool beyond idle.

I'm using CPU-z for specs. Core voltage is 1.2V on load.. All settings in BIOS are default, except RAM settings. I used X.M.P settings.

If you're certain the core voltage is only 1.2v under load then it would have to be the mount or the cooler itself.
