My 6700k is reaching 92°C

its not OC'ed but I'm about to add a spacer behind the cooler bracket to see if that fixes it

Is that the oring mod for the corsair AIOs? Should work, if that doesn't work then either RMA the chip or delid, whatever your comfy doing, personally I'd delid because CBA wasting time.

This right here tells me that your cooler isn't mounted properly. I had the same thing happen with one of the used CPUs I received. At idle it would have pretty good temps but as soon as I put any kind of load on it she would skyrocket to 90*.

 

4.5mm is kind of thick for a spacer, can't you find anything thinner? It might work if the mounting screws for your cooler are long enough to reach.

yeah its a little thick but looking around others have fixed the problem with a 4mm washer

I wasn't sure how long the screws on the H60 were that's why I asked.

 

The important thing to remember now is that the mounting pressure should be even all the way around. If one side is tighter than the others it can push the opposite side of the cooler up off the block.

Ok its done the problem was that the plastic washers supplied by corsair were 2 mm to short and after replacing them with 4.5mm thick,  9mm² neoprene rubber squares with holes I can happily say that my temps are perfectly acceptable.

Cool, glad you sorted it out. If temps start getting bad when you want to overclock then a delid might be worth it down the line, but that's down to you. I'm tempted to get a 6700k next to overclock but I'm kind of waiting for a naked mount for it.
