i5 4690k Throtteling ?

[VeryDogeTV]

Hey LTT com. !

 

I got an i5 4690k in my Rig. its running on 4.49 GhZ stable, but as soon as it gets near 90% load it goes down to 3.49 GhZ.

The CPU dosent even get hot or anything, its watercooled. It's max temps are 90° after a day of use. it was on average on 64 °.

Please help me!

Thank you!

 

p.s Therma Throtteling is Disabled in the BIOS.

90c is hot.

It will start to throttle around 90c, that's hot.

yeah but its watercooled and it took about 4 hours to reach 90 °

it starts to go down to 3.49 at already 70 degree or so

90 is way too hot. 72.72*C  is tCASE for that CPU.

You shouldn't even get above 70C with a water cooler tbh from what I known. \

 

90 is way too hot.

 

Check your cooler and make sure its contacting good enough and giving out the heat fast enough.

It is not throttling.

Thermal throtling is where the performance DROPS BELOW the base clock of 3.5 Ghz.

In your case, the turbo boost is just rolling back to stock, to reduce temps.

 

It is not throttling, as it does not go below stock speeds

How are you overclocking it? are you doing it manually, or using a motherboard preset?

im doing it manually but ive done it many times before

[SteinerW]

From your picture, its only going down to 3.5 at near idle usage. Is it also doing under load?

Yes it is

[VeryDogeTV]

Is this too much dust ??

 

[SteinerW]

Yes.

[The_Denks]

Fuck yes, it is too much dust

alright lemme clean it up and ill give you an update.

also: should be the fan on pull or push? it was on push

[SteinerW]

My motherboard has a setting to force it to stay at its highest clock under load. You should see if you have one.

Pull makes it easier to clean.

My 4690k never hit those temps at 4.5 GHz on a small 90mm cooler that had only 2 heat pipes, and I was using the motherboard preset overclock which uses way more voltage than whats needed. You should never hit those temps on water at that clock speed unless you're pushing like 1.35 volts or more.

Heres the update after cleaning it and setting it on pull:

 

Load / Idle

NOTE: It is still below its original clock speed

[VeryDogeTV]

it is holding its 4.5 GHZ for around 20 seconds in a stress test, then dropping to 3.47 - 3.41

[SteinerW]

See if there's a setting in your bios that forces max turbo speed under load. My CPU will drop to 4.1 GHz if I don't have that turned on.

Well what were the temps during that time.

 

Do you have the pump plugged into the CPU PUMP header, and not a generic fan header?
