7700k vs 6700k

[cfrozer]

7700k vs 6700k whats the difference? besides the clock speeds. the 7700k is running hot for my liking. should i get a 6700k? will that work on a z270 board? 

[desertcomputer]

Yes it will work, why would you get 6700k when you already have 7700k? What is your cooler?

I presume you are running stock. Can you running a stress test? and come back with load temps . 75 degrees doesn't seem too hot, im running 6700k at 4.8GHZ and hitting 78 degrees at load.

Try remounting the cooler and replacing the thermal paste.

Also, don't use the stock fans, they suck.

75C is not anywhere near hot, hot is 90+

yes stress test comes at about 75c. i've also undervolted the cpu

did all that.

Just undervolt the CPU. I run my 7700K at 1.23V

mine was at 1.150v

Probably got bad silicon if its that much of an issue.  side/downgrading to a 6700K isn't really worth it and won't  help temps

should i exchange the cpu?

Something's up then because I'm running mine with an NH-9DL cooler in a mini ITX rig and it maxes out at 80C.

What do you mean?  Are you talking about returning it for a new one from the store you bought it from?

It's the temps, 70c-75c is too high for my liking

If you still can and they won't charge you for doing so go for it

Well then get better cooling, or delid it, or reduce the voltage.

70-75C is perfectly fine for an intel CPU, why do you care if it's 60C or 70C if it literally does not matter?

Live in cooler climate? Set your aircon to 10 degrees

how much power is it using? check intel power gadget

 

The 6700k will run hotter

 

That cooler is mounted wrong or not working right.

 

The cpu is fine.

my rad is at the top and did not re-postion the rad from my last mobo, should i do that?
