CPU overheating or failing on me?

[HoiDaniel]

Okay..

 

So I upgraded my pentium G3258 (OC 4,2 Ghz) to an i5-4460. With the same stock cooler, the temps were at 76 under load for the pentium, but the i5 seems to put far more heat out than I expected. The temps are hitting 90 degrees celsius with prime95 running after 6 minutes. The TJ max is 73 degrees celsius, so it's overshooting a lot. But it doesn't shut down, nor does it crash.
I did a CMOS reset for the motherboard, so any old OC preset is deleted, i disabled intel turboboost, i've done everything so ensure it's not my motherboard.

 

BUT, when I'm gaming, in the middle of a rainbowsix/battlefield round, i get black and white stripes, vertically in my screen and a buzzing noise in my headset. It just seems to happen randomly, but only whilst gaming. I don't know what's the problem, because it doesn't get as hot or as stressed when i'm running prime95..

 

Does anybody know the origin of my problem? Is it the upgrade?

 

Specs:

CPU: i5-4460

RAM: Kingston furyx 4gb

MB: MSI H81i

PSU: CM B500 v2

GPU: Sapphire Dual X R9280X 4GB

Case: CM Elite 120

 

Stats:

Idle temp: 33C on package, 31C on core#1

Load temp prime95 after 3 minutes: 85C on package, 85C on core#1

 

Prime95 doesn't fail or whatever, it just keeps on going and doing everything fine. But idk what's the problem?

Maybe you should invest CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO. By the way, nice lip mang.

CM elite 120 doesn't allow for any cooler higher than 90mm or so, so it's not an option to install any normal-sized cooler. A low profile cooler would be my best guess of course, but i don't know how i make sure it's the temps and not the CPU itself.

its probably this

Only run Blend when using Prime95. Intel chips hate Small/Large FFT's, and can easily hit 100c.

Do you really think it's the PSU? CPU is only drawing about 75W and no way the R9 is drawing 300W or so..

It doesn't crash in prime95 anyway, so idk man

stock cooler? did you reapply thermal paste when moving the cooler?

Yeah I did, I even did it twice after the first crash happened to make sure it wasn't poorly applied

ive heard buzzing noise mixed in the audio when my friend's pc is underload while gaming with crap psu, so that might be it

 

you can test it by running gpu and cpu stress test individually, see if you can hear the buzzing noise (i suggest using aida64 and unigine heaven)

and then stress test both of them together at the same time, see if there's the buzzing noise

You don't understand me 100%  I only hear the buzzing noise when i already crashed with the stripes. Sound is fine when i'm up and running.

[DrM]

hmm you said 90 degrees under prime95. what mode were you running, because it can make haswell cpus heat up quite a bit. if you can test with aida64 and see if your temps change at all

means the game freeze and have stripes and buzzing noise?

im beginning to really suspect your psu now `-`

Running for about 2 minutes now, the temperatures peak at about 62C (which is fine). What are your thoughts?

Cooler master isn't a bad brand, right..

each brand have their fair share of great and bad psu (im staring at corsair and cooler master)

except Seasonic, Super flower and Delta, they only make excellent psu

I could test this by running GPU and CPU stress tests i suppose?

I'm going to do it straight away, i'll see you again when i restart lmao

after 2 benchmarks unigine  with aida64 running the whole time, CPU temps are stable at 73C, GPU at 59C.

well try running it longer, maybe 30 minutes or more

also, enable all the stress for aida 64 except gpu and local disks and ram

(fpu and cpu and cache iirc)

Okay, i managed to get it crash. With Prime 95 only, it doesn't crash and temps get up to 88 degrees.

With prime95 AND unigine heaven it crashed after reaching 87 degrees, it took about a minute. I will check now if it crashes when also stressing everything in aida.

 

Weird stuff

I have heard prime95 doesn't play well with ivy bridge and haswell cpus, this could very well be your problem.

It doesn't happen in prime95, i only crash ingame or whilst running prime+unigineheaven

[Cyracus]

sorry, guess I skimmed a little too much and when I see prime95 I kinda get tunnel vision. still, probably best not to run it anymore until you make sure it won't bust your cpu...if that's not already the issue. As far as power supplies go, good thread here. Looking it up it has some bad reviews, 12 volt dips hard and unreliable at high load, and that graphics cards recommended minimum psu is in the 750W range, so that's probably your problem there
