Heat problems....

Temps are real. The stock cooler for Haswell CPUs is good for i5. But with i7 it struggles. And using stress test/benchmark or CPU heavy games doesn't help.

 

Too bad with Evo. It indeed has pretty cryptic manual but I don't understand how you would even try to unscrew central knob.

:( i thought this wouldn't happen to me but it did. I am having CPU heating problems. So, a few days ago, i built my first computer, it went quite smooth and worked well. i downloaded Intel extreme tuning software, and it says at about 30% CPU utilization, it is at near 80 C. It can get up into the 90's when playing Arma 3. Now i wouldn't being writing this post if i didn't already try to fix it. I have tried reapplying the thermal paste and heat sync 3 times. I am using a stock Intel cooler, and MX 4 thermal paste. It is on an i7 4790k. I have tried underclocking it and that barely even makes a difference. I even planned on having a non-stock cooler, the hyper 212 evo. I bought that cooler, tried to put in on and the instructions were so vague and complicated that i accidentally unscrewed a screw in the main mechanism that mounts it and the whole thing fell apart, making a screw and a spring fly away, needless to say, i won't be finding those any time soon. i tried to look though. Anyway, i am starting to think that the thermometer is broke? The air coming out of the case isn't warm, neither is the air coming out of the CPU cooler. I don't know if that is a very good way to tell how hot the CPU is but, it just doesn't seem like there is a chip that is 130 F+ sitting in there. I have also made sure that the chip isn't overclocked.
