i7 4790K OC problem

[yannickverc]

So this morning I already posted about this. I ran it a while at 4.7GHz at 1.255V and when I tested with both aida64 and OCCT temps would go up to 90 and more. (Not constantly but it would bounce up to like 90-92 then back down to 70 for some odd reason)

 

During cs:go gameplay it was ok but now after playing for longer than an hour temps would go a little too high to my likings.. 80°C

 

So I decided to turn it down to 4.6GHz at 1.220V but temps still go up to 90°C ... I'm officially lost now. Anyone know what's going on?

SOLVED: So apparently I didn't adjust some setting or it got auto adjusted. My CPU input voltage was set at 1.8V, a friend told me 1.4V was like max so that was the problem of my super high temps after 30 seconds of benching. Back to overclocking and seeing if I can hit 4.8!

Background program? Try disable unnecessary program and see your cpu load

What cooler are you using?

Background program?

The gif is from realtemp

dark rock pro 3

The Gif shows 100% load utilisation. Means something is running your cpu at top speed

Disable some program thats running at the background

Then I'd suspect it's not making contact or you could have an issue with the thermal paste. I would do a sensor test first though.

Yea I'm running aida64, it's a benckmark stresstest for your CPU to test if you have a stable overclock... it's supposed to run at 100%

Either that or the fan. It may not be spinning at a faster rate while in load.

AIDA64 has one but I use TempGT to test the sensors, takes about 15min.

Seems like you need prime95 for that, and I heard that prime95 and i7 4790K aren't that good friends..

Yes, do not use prine95. Real temp is a great app, get it if only to get temps from multiple programs. I run it and Afterburner while I game to monitor everything.

Yea I got afterburner running all the time too.
