i7-8700k

i have a shitty aio cooler and i was just wondering if im at 100c while gaming am i going to burn out my cpu really quick? idle its at 45-50c

The 8700k is pretty toasty and requires a good cooler. At 100C your CPU is most definitely throttling. It won't get damaged, but getting a better cooler as soon as possible is highly advised.

I'm so sorry I couldn't save you.

 

your CPU would be throttling hard at that point, but with even a basic 120mm AIO you should be fine at stock clocks. Is it heavily overclocked or something?

You should probably just downclock it to like 3.75ghz at a way lower voltage

Those are some really high idle temps, my 8700K idles at 28-30C and with all cores set at 4.5GHz I see temps of roughly 80-84C. All I have is a really basic Cooler Master Hyper 212X air cooler, that's about as basic as you can get. Something is wrong with your setup if your temps are that high, make sure your cooler is fully seated and working, also make sure your CPU core voltage isn't something ridiculous or unnecessarily high. I'm getting 4.5GHz on all cores running only 1.2V

Are you sure you took the sticker off the cold plate on the AIO when you were installing it? And you put plenty of thermal paste?

Your AIO just might be broken in some way then, it should fine at stock settings.

 

This should have some undervolting info for the time being.

 

What's the new cooler you're getting? I assume some 240mm AIO or giant air cooler?

i have the corsair 570x with the fans that it come with in the front, then i have the coolermaster ml240l aio. im pretty sure i did a bad job at setting the fans up for max airflow

Your case doesn't have any airflow lol...least as far as I can tell

 

Take off the front panel and side panel then check what your temps are.

 

the ML240 should be perfectly fine on cooling a stock 8700K.

i have the panels off already and its still at high 40s idle. i think my aio might be bad or just seated wrong and i cant figure out why it wont seat right 

 

oh and i have all my fans cranked

The CPU wouldn't seat right in the socket? Or you can't tighten down the cooler all the way?

where do you live? are you from singapore living in a room with no aircon?

no the cpu is seated right. the cooler i think is seated right but maybe its no tightened all the way

It should be fine to cool that CPU, so maybe just remount the AIO and repaste it

did that too, but undervolting helped alot. my max is now 85c witch i can live with

If it's all mounted correctly, and your side panels are off, maybe your pump is just messed up.

 

Are the AIO fans running at 100%?

Noctua should be fine, assuming it's the giant 2 fan model.

Or you could get a 360mm AIO, which your case supports, They're about $120 like the fractal one below.

Probably send it in for warranty then just sell the fixed one they send.

[IAnthonyFX]

if you bought from a retailer or something with buyers protection send it back and get all your money, but I would suggest getting something else like a drp4 or a the noctua behemoth. But if your room is at 30C then it is ust your amb temperatures, you are now in summer after all.
