4770 Hot Hot Hot

I wonder if there's much temperature variation between batches, possibly caused by how well the TIM is applied.

I think that's the thing with Haswell. Seems to be such a wide variation already. It's just the lottery game unfortunately.

Seems strange. Is that stock or overclocked? Vcore. Got my 4770K yesterday and at stock with a Thermalright Silver Arrow idling aroud 25-28ºC and after an hour of prime95 was hitting around 55ºC.

That's stock. I have just fitted my test 4770 non K version and it does the same.. :confused:

I bet if you are happy with stock speeds you could drop the vcore quite a bit, that would reduce the vicious circle they seem to be in....properly cooled so no need for the higher voltage they require for the high temp stability, win win

I have uploaded a video to youtube (Please don't flame me as its my first one) to show the problem. It looks as if its fine for a little while but then the voltage kicks up from 1.128 to 1.212v then fluctuates and that's when it get really hot :eek:

That's very bad! Pretty nasty Haswell :eek:

Thanks for sharing you tubes video

Say something! Need to keep the viewer engaged and entertained in order keep to their interest. I turned it off after 30 seconds! Geez...

Joking of course

Funny Intel say it work well with intel stock fan and stock speed with no problem with heat. Lying intel.

Yeah

You know what intel will say right? That is not a supported application and does not represent real work usage. lol

LOL.. I hate the sound of my own voice so wouldn't subject anyone else to that..

But the fact of the matter is that its an industry standard testing application in the same way as prime and furmark/occt is. It does the same in all of them.

What makes it industry standard BTW? Is there an ISO for this?

IBT is a chip killer, and should not be used. Intel engineers shiver at the thought of what people do with IBT.

There simply is no need to use it. Test (in test mode, before you put the machine into production usage) what you typically do if you want to stress your machine when OC'd.

At worst, use prime blend for 30mins.

1.2 doesn't sound like stock volts to me ?

LLC set too high ?

Yeah I know that feeling. You hear you own voice on video and makes you cringe. lol

OK Industry standard was an error. I should have said, highly regarded in in the modding and pc tech community.

It does the same with prime on blend after a couple of mins.

I set the cpu as a static 1.1v and it still got very hot. The voltage only peaked at 1.116v though. I am just going to test again with the LLC set on low. BTW this setting has not been changed from auto which should work with no issues on stock settings with stock cooler.

That's stupid high voltage, don't think I need that much for 4.4GHZ on Ivy Bridge. Looks like I suggested then, high voltage required to counter high temp instability :rolleyes:

Doubt you will need LLC at stock, If there is an offset mode try -.250v also turn turbo volts to min.

I think stock is a grey term

As I believe a lot of mobos on auto everything aren't stock

Agree, I generally prime 1 pass at a higher clock or lower voltage than I intend to use (depending on the muppet auto overclock system)

5 hours video encoding is more constructive than just needlessly cooking everything !

That's so reviewers get better results, think Asus kicked that one off years back !
