i7 4790k hot

[xDylanio]

I feel like my cpu is getting to hot. I'm debating delidding it or changing my air pressure. RIght now I have 2x120 mm at the front as intake, 1x 120mm at the back as exhaust, and top radiator as exhaust, it's a corsair h100i gtx.

 

 

Running prime95

That's unusually hot. First try remounting the cooler, what paste are you using?

[i_build_nanosuits]

something is VERY wrong with your CPU cooler...it probably does not make good contact with the chip...those CPU's run NOWHERE near that hot with that cooler...i have a H100i myself on a 4770K which is known to be even much worse than the 4790K and the max temp i can get is like...68c...and this is pushing it real hard.

[i_build_nanosuits]

1.24v max on vcore...1.74v vccin...no way...it should run at like...65c max with those settings.

also 1800RPM on those corsair fans man this is crazy loud...i run mine at 850RPM all the time...pump on quiet...all the time...and temps are way fine.

but the liquid temps at 1800rpm seems to indicate that the cooler is mounted properly tho

I don't know what I can do, should I try using my stock cooler and seeing if there is a difference?

Mean't to quote you, but yea I also think it is mounted correctly.

[ARikozuM]

Do you have another cooler to test with?

i've found the issue
its prime95,didnt see that you're running that.bad idea on haswell chips
use aida64 or something similar,avoid p95

yeah, try with aida 64...and also OP when you run games for example...what kind of temps are you seeing?

Yea i've read about it, but I never thought it was the actual reason, I considered it as a rumour

CPU throttling at 100C...even prime 95 wouldn't do that...

OP, when you installed the backplate behind the board for the cooler did you had issues? did you feel it was loose and wiggling?

Prime 95's issue was only with two of the revisions. It has been fixed.

snip!

could you download intel extreme utility tool and run the CPU stress test for 5 to 10 minutes and grab a screenshot of your hardware monitor...

this is mine...i use 1.195V vcore and 1.625V Vccin

if the CPU is processing at 50% load or more for real, 57c wouldn't be that bad actually...i play an hour of BF1 and between minute 12 and minute 60 the CPU is around 60-62c

seem fine to me...you run 4.4/4.4/4.3/4.2 you can certainly make it 44/44/44/44 on all cores easily...probably 4.5/4.5/4.5/4.5 without touching anything else?

Yeah but your usage is likely above 50%
