well in reference to (1), stock settings can cause MASSIVE temperature fluctuations in skylake. I don't know about 78C immedietely as i have an AIO and those take a bit to warm up, but yes you can get very spikey temperatures on stock settings. I would recommend setting a manual voltage/clock setting (something like 4.0 @ 1.21v or something like that) and see if you still experience such high/fast temperature jumps.

Hello Guyz,

 

Finally I've managed to buy I7 6700K with ASUS Z170 Pro gaming motherboard. It's Decent board and processor. but I'm facing unprecedented Over Heating issue.

The issue is when I'm doing general Stuff it's my CPU temperature remains about 30C which is good. but when I stress cpu using cpuz or other benchmark application It raises CPU temperature to 78, to 78C within a second

and when I stop stress test it back to normal around 30C. I Don't know what exactly the problem is. Please Help me In regard.

I'm Attaching Screen Shot of Stress test with compare to time.

It's cooled by Cooler Master Hyper 212X

 

Temps are still pretty high even with that cooler. Have you tried reinstalling the cooler or adding new thermal paste?

Sounds like you might want to reapply thermal paste. My hyper T4 doesn't let it a 6700k get that hot unless its on intel burn test...

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

yeah I did that but unfortunately not worked.

How fast is the fan spinning when it's at that temp? Not much else I can say other than try another cooler.

I have a 6700k and have a few questions for you.

 

1. what settings are you running on the 6700k? stock settings have been known to SERIOUSLY overuse the voltage when under load/fluctuating loads. my CPU actually runs cooler (when measured by peak temperatures) when set to 1.36V and 4.6GHz overclock than when compared to stock settings. 78C isn't unbearably hot for skylake anyway, and it would be fine if that was your peak temperature.

2. what kind of thermal paste are you using? Some thermal pastes require a 'burn-in' or a cure time before they begin functioning properly. also, make sure you have enough thermal paste covering the majority of your CPU's IHS. contrary to the popular belief, over-application of thermal paste typically does not insulate your CPU (resulting in higher temperatures), but having slightly not enough can definitely cause issues. Also recycling thermal paste that has already been used on a previous mount can sometimes be problematic, so apply a fresh coat of thermal paste if you have done this.

3. Make sure your CPU heatsink is seated properly and secured firmly to your board. a loose or bad seat on a CPU heatsink could easily cause spiky temperatures. Also, if your 212X comes with a plastic sleeve on the baseplate, make sure that has been removed.

1. I'm using 6700K to stock settings and it's optimized automatically by ASUS 5 way optimization. yeah it's bearable when peak temperature is 78C but is it fine if it take a second to raise 30 to 78?

2.I'm using stock thermal past comes with Cooler Master Hyper 212x. and I've also applied enough from it & it doesn't insulating CPU. and I've also reapplied fresh coat of thermal past.

3. yeah it is.

well in reference to (1), stock settings can cause MASSIVE temperature fluctuations in skylake. I don't know about 78C immedietely as i have an AIO and those take a bit to warm up, but yes you can get very spikey temperatures on stock settings. I would recommend setting a manual voltage/clock setting (something like 4.0 @ 1.21v or something like that) and see if you still experience such high/fast temperature jumps.

okya I'll try that. does water cooler makes any difference?

well the liquid in a water cooling can give you a sort of temporary "buffer" while the liquid itself heats up so it would result is less severe sudden temperature spikes when compared to a simple heatsink cooler.

okay. so is there any chance of CPU manufacture defect i.e. can cause heats up imminently?
