Hi ive got a 6700k at stock clocks with a h100i gtx and my temps are totally awful, i cleaned the rad and fans and after turning my pc on and playing 1 round on overwatch my temps were
core 1 88c
core 2 88c
core 3 81c
core 4 83c

I have 4 fans on the rad ( two top and top bottom) using corsain fan link to control temps but dont know what else to do, ( Not a great tech person)
I reset everything to default in bios but still same, I have a asus z170 deluxe mobo, also hwmonitor says max vid is 1.314V seems high from what ive been reading but i set everything to default in bios so dont know what else to do :confused: any help much appreciated
 
Part of your problem might be your vcore being too high, leading to higher temps. It seems that many of the Asus Z170 boards are overtuned in this way and need some dialling back in BIOS. Check out this thread for details.

However, your temps are exceptionally high, so there's probably something else at play too. Definitely get some new thermal paste and re-seat your cooler.


Followed that thread and changed the voltage to adaptive and lowered it too 1.200 and the offset to think its was 0000.1 or something like that and changed llc to level 1 and played half hour of overwatch and 3 rounds of heros of the storm and highest temps have been
core 1 - 63
2 - 63
3 - 59
4 -63

so over a 20 degree drop, surprised asus boards over volt that much? thanks for the link helped me a lot :)
