I7-4770K, yay my friend got a dud

[PCBudgetSolutions]

So I decided to run prime 95 at stock speeds with the dark knight II cooler inside the NZXT 630 case.  It hit 80*C, so I took it apart and reapplied thermal paste and such and it still hit 80*C.  Kinda disappointing to be honest, I want to see if I could hit 4.5GHz.  I think auto voltage is hurting it, it hits 1.25V on full load.

 

EDIT: Just ran it again after reseting all of the settings in the bios, it's hitting 1.16V with about 68*C on the second hottest core.  But I also run the HEAVY test that tests heat and power consumption

 

EDIT 2: Even Aida64 I still hit 70*C @ stock.

 

EDIT 3: Interesting note, medium-low load I get amazing temps.  Doing mass installations using about 40% of my CPU power it's around 39-41*C

You could undervolt it to keep temperatures in control. I don't think that you should be overclocking that at all or you risk killing it.

Should have got a 3770k :p I don't think the 10% performance increase is worth the risk of overclocking

dont run prime 95 on haswell it thermally throttles down

I got the temps to around 60*C on the standard prime 95 with the case fans up at 12V.  Shame though my I7-2600K hits 4.5GHz @ 1.35V with a inferior CPU cooler and barely hits 70*C on max Prime 95.

My brothers is at 1.26V and runs at 4.7ghz, load temps are 55C with 25C ambients. He uses a custom loop in his build thought with a 60mm thick 240 rad and a 60mm 360 rad aswell.

Nope, still 70*C on the second hottest core.  GG got a dud.
