i7 I7 4790K and HYPER 212 EVO Problem

[LuisCorner]

Something seems wrong with my CPU or my heatsink. 

I currently have my i7 4790k cooled by a Hyper 212 EVO at 4.4Ghz and the maximum tempearutes are between 70~75C° on FULL load (20~ min rendering in Blender CPU) , they seem fine to me, the problem is when i try to increase the Ghz by 0.1 the maximum temperatures go up by 25~30C° while rendering the same frame in just under a minute, reaching 100C° and then throttling.

 

Can someone help me to know better what is going on.

•I used the thermal paste that came with the heatsink

•i used the line method

•I cleaned the heatsink and made sure it was well attached

What voltage on overclocked at both speeds?

It's because the 4790K runs pretty hot and you're using a budget cooler.  I've got the same CPU and cooler.  I just ordered one of these.

Everything on the bios is default i just changed the vcore from auto(40) to 44.

Welcome to the club of i7 4790k ... stock settings and I have 80°C on water cooling loop.

That's why I decided to delid it, but failed with razer method, so I will buy delidding tool, because I don't wanna risk it.

Not sure if you can solve that problem any other way.

 

Maybe you can sell that CPU, and buy new one. Or keep that i7 4790k on stock settings untill you can afford new one. I'm not buying any other CPU with TIM inside ever again. Only soldered ones, since those have the lowest possible temps.

Wait!! You went form a 20 min render to under a minute render with a 0.1 Mhz overclock? Something doesn't sound right

I tried to say that while rendering (at 4.5Ghz) the temperatures go from 30~C° to 100C° in just 20 to 30 seconds.

 

While at 4.4 Ghz the maximum temperatures are 75C°

The total time to render 1 frame is like 1:40

Stock settings?  You mean 4.0Ghz? With water cooling??!? Man you must have lost the silicon lottery really bad.

something really does sound off

Not 4GHz ... 4,4GHz on all active cores.

And I didn't touch voltage at all.

 

And I didn't lost silicon lottery, because my CPU can handle 4,8GHz if temps are okay. So after I delid it, temps should be okay for me to run 4,8GHz on all cores all the time. At least I hope so  

I had stable 4,7GHz at 1,31V, I just didn't like my temps to be around 95°C, so I'm on stock settings for now.

 

Was hoping that Ryzen will score at least 180 points in single core performance in Cinebench ... in that case I would sell that 4790k and just go with Ryzen since it's soldered and running cold.

Well i marked you as solved i didnt know the 4790k needed to be delided to reach good temperatures.

When i looked on the web for the 4790k and 212 evo i read this " the 212 should be good up to 4.6 but it's not guaranteed. 4.6 is pretty common with the 4790K and EVO, but if you want to go over that, you'll probably need a better cooler. "

Thanks for the info everyone.

You seem to be referring to the core clock. What's your core voltage set to?

Uhm, new to OC? Voltages play really big role on temps. If you have let them at auto, they will be higher than needed. My friends 4790K can do 4.7GHz at 1.27V on 212 Evo easy (OC'd at summer time so ~25C room temp).
