Cooling with stock thermal paste from cm or SIlver 5?

[Carter Bourne]

I have replace my thermal paste 3 times now checking temps and each time, the temperatures are around 54 degrees Celsius no matter what and before this, the thermal paste would stay around 30-40 degrees celsius. What am I doing wrong? I am using a 7700k amd 3.4 ghz quad cpu with a 212 evo cooler. Am I not applying paste properly or is it just the how my pc runs?

first, is your name actually bourne, that is so cool. as in jason bourne the franchise

 

second, what TIM application method are you using and or type of TIM.

[MrMcMuffinJr]

you could always try delidding the cpu. I saw a video where they got a 15-20C drop. but that is a very drastic measure.

[MrMcMuffinJr]

one other thing, the 212 have a kind of low 180 tdp. and the 7700k has a tdp of 91. not much cooling room.

Yes my last name is bourne  everyone always asks his i know jason bourne. Ironically i always wanted to change my name to jason before I learned of the franchise and I used the dot method first,  then the credit card method the next few times. I  changed from the silver 5 to the stock cooler master tp and thats in my rig rn

After testing csgo the temps dont rise above 66 but, they do stay at 66 all the time which isn't right

if it's idling at 60*C check your voltage and make sure SpeedStep is enabled. it should be throttling down to minimums with very low voltage (less than 1 volt)

I mean those temperatures are well within safe operating range, so it's just fine for you to run if we can't figure this out. I would just make sure you're tightening down the cooler firmly (but be careful), and go back to the dot method, I find all the other ones to have no visible benefit over it and it takes the least effort.

Ok Thanks I am going to take off the cooler and remove the stock paste and add the silver 5 back
