5930k running hot on idle?

So I have a 5930k at stock speeds for the moment cooled with a h110i gt aio

On my 4790k @ 4.8 on idol was around 23-28C and under load never got over 62C

I know the 5930k is a bigger chip and all but it idols at around 44-49C I have replied thermal past like a million times with the same result and the thermal spread is nice and even

Under load the 5930k never goes over 79C But I still think that is a bit high..

Am I paranoid or is something wrong?

Prolly, try to limit to only performing on one core and see the results.

 

Since it always uses all it's cores, theres no way that thing can stay at 50deg.

thats odd. 

 

i know the 5930k is a bit hotter but that seems out of the ordinary.

 

no idea.

As long as your load temperatures are fine, no need to worry. Edited by Godlygamer23

I'd say that idling high. Is it down clocking using its C states ?

 

Check ur bios ensure C states are enabled.

Nope something is wrong, very wrong.

I have a 5820k running at 4.3Ghz@1.24v, my idle temps on a warm day are 29 - 33c, load running OCCT 65c, this is under a straight H110 with Noctua NF-14's.

 

What motherboard do you have, sometime fan profiles are set ridiculously low by default (mine is so low my fans won't spin till I adjust the fan curves.)

Someone on Overclock.net is also having the exact same problem when moving the cooler from one motherboard to another (has the H110i GT as well), has still hasn't worked out the issue.

 

One other thing you can try is carefully use you finger on the top of the pump and add a little more pressure, watch your idle temps if they go down the block isn't sitting flush, 4 small washers on the mounting bracket screws will fix that.

This is quite strange. My 5960X overclocked to 4.5Ghz idles at around 36-37C with the H110. Maybe see if your pump and fans are correctly powered by your board.

Everything is plugged in correctly and the fans are as high as they can go.. I might just buy a "cheap" heatsink and use it while I rma the h110i gt

Check the speed of the pump and the voltage being applied to your processor. If it is running at stock speed, it cold be that your board is simply applying  too much voltage.

So it might be a shot in the dark here after 5 years but I wonder if there is any corrilation between what I am having at the moment and your problem?

Did you found a sollution to your problem?
