6700k 100 degrees..?

Hey guys, so I've OC'd my 6700k to 4.6Ghz, using a h80i with two SP120 fans attached with another 6 in the case directed towards the pipes.

Under prime95 I'm getting 100 degree (celcius) temps, is this normal? Ambient is around 33 atm.

 

Should I tone it down or will I be okay?

Cheers guys

 

(Highest in-game I've noticed is around 85-90 running 4k)

Remount the cooler.

Also, voltage?

Tone it down. It's probably already thermal throttling, and you'll kill the CPU much faster with those temps.

Just did, apparently 1.38/1.41 or so using the Asus Auto Overclock, looks like it sucks? Haha.

Could I get 4.6 without this voltage?

And already re-added more thermal paste..

Is show 1.414V in CPUID HWMonitor.

I posted that before he got his pictures up.

And holy shit is that high.

Tone that shit down man. H80i ain't gonna cool that.

We don't know. That's what overclocking is all about. Just try, try again until you get the optimal speed and voltage.

That is why people don't recommend auto clock utilities. Just do it the old fashion way in the bios manually.

Yeah I might reset to default and do it manually without the auto overclock lol

That's what I thought! HAHA

100 deg is too high.  Also, Prime95 tends to be hotter than anything else, possibly too demanding. try a different test.

 

Also 33 deg ambient is not ideal.  See if you can get that down to around 20 - 22; it will reduce the CPU temps by the same amount

He needs custom water rad like 280mm or 360mm to deal with that 1.41V heat, and H80i can't dissipate  that much heat at all consider it single seal close loop 120mm.

Can't.. Australian heat lol :P.

I'll fiddle with it now, I'll try 4.6 @ 1.35? Possibly too ambitious

yes, the H80 series leaves about 13° warmer temps over the 240 (dual 120 systems).

damn.  I'd say try air conditioning but I have inside knowledge about how houses there are built so I know that's probably not an option :)

Stop running that, you're going to damage your CPU

 

1) dont use auto OC, it obviously uses too much voltage, manually OC it yourself or dont OC at all

 

2) stop using prime95, use intel XTU for stress testing

 

3) buy a better cooler (optional)

100 Celsius... the over clocking is real with this mortal...

Wow this was old as heck, Need to update this signature!

Turn that voltage down before you kill your CPU...

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

Jeez, really?  I guess we're headed back up... can't wait for 2.7 volts stock to be normal again like it was in the good old days :P

Well they got rid of the shitty FIVR haswell had, so apparently they are more voltage tolerant because heat dropped a bit.

Seriously? I never heard about this... I thought the safe voltage limits on Ivy Bridge were because of the FinFET technology used, and that that would be carried on to all future processors as long as that process technology is used.

 

(I'm probably wrong)

I'm acquainted with a few people that received chips from Intel / board manufacturers, and they were all told 1.45v or less is fine with good cooling. 

And almost all the binning websites are binning at around ~1.45v or less.

Hm... can't say that instantly makes sense to me... I mean, I get that moving the VR would improve heat, but the upper limit for voltage isn't just from how hot it gets; there is an inherent danger level you should not exceed, even if it can do it cooly.

Update: Running Intel XTU for 4 minutes or so now, turned the voltage down to 1.38, temps are fluctuating, seems to be stable, highest temps are now around 92 degrees.

Might turn the voltage down some more.
