I stopped prime at 92, reached it REALLY fast. Going to delid and try again in a week or two

How odd, guess it depends what your cooling is but with corsair H100 fans on silent maxed out at approximately 80 degrees after prolonged testing.

Don't use prime.
he`s testing his cpu and you say not to use a cpu stress testing programme....
I have a Xpower monoblock and a custom loop all round (GPU inc) 4.7Ghz hitting a max of 96 whilst gaming :\.
What do you suggest to use
?
This is bad. Something is wrong.
delidding will fix it
why should you have to potentially ruin a cpu to `fix it` - this is Intel`s fault

No, its not a case of delidding. Prime is not recommended any more by intel. Certain instruction sets cause voltage spikes that can result in really high temps. Use Realbench or Aida64.
read where he says it hits 96c in a game... nothing to do with prime.
i know. they cheaped out with poopy thermal paste
again Exactly... 96 in Prime is one thing, in games that's something else entirely! NOT GOOD! You should be maxing out at about half that under water!!

Missed that, I was referring to the his other post about getting 92 Degrees in prime. Something is wrong there. I am pretty certain that poopy thermal paste would not cause such a high temp, especially with watercooling. Drop it to stock and see if you still get high temps, if yes, then it may be the thermal compound but if not try checking in the BIOS for your voltage, LLC etc in case something is not correct.
LOL - so just because 1 piece of software is not recoomended you suddenly cant use it? utter rubbish

Really? Do a bit of research. It started with Haswell. Consumer Intel CPUs (SKT2011 do not seem to be adversely effected by this) Prime 95 causes the CPU to pull way too much voltage at times causing spikes. Prime 95 puts an unrealistic load on these CPUS that will not be achievable with gaming/normal use/rendering.
idk if you've been asleep since ivy bridge got released
but they stopped soldering the IHS to the die and used poopy thermal compound instead making overclocked cpus run a good 20c hotterwhat planet are you on? if a piece of software is pushing a cpu to 100% - and the cpu is falling over , then its not the software at fault is it
since IB they have been cost cutting and think that boiling water temperatures is acceptable. you can heat your home from a 4770k on the stock retail heatsink.

Seriously do a search for it. Its not pushing the CPU to 100% it pushes it past its acceptable voltage limits when using that specific piece of software. I believe if you change it from Blend to Small FFT it will work without doing that. If you don't believe me, and I assure you I have done a decent bit of research into this AND it has been confirmed by Intel and several other internet sources, please ask the likes of 8Pack/Gibbo. IBT used to do the EXACT same thing.
