8700K 4700MHZ hits abnormal temps in Assassin Origins

Hi. This is the only 1 game that hitting my 8700K to abnormal temps. Temps goes to 80 and climbing in random areas to 90-95C and spikes to 100C.

I have 8700K with cooler M9i Cryoring , motherboard Asus Z370 Pro Gaming. MTE is on. XMP memory ON.

This is the only 1 game with such temps. Should i change cooler ? In other games i have temps : 70-80C.

When i see on task manager there are 100% cpu usage when running Origins.

Nothing changed in UEFI. Only XMP profile ON.

Other games temps are ok . But only in Origins it goes as high like 85C to 90C and 90-100C

Your motherboard is pushing too much voltage most likely so try manually lowering it.
How many FPS are you getting when it’s maxing out your cpu.? I don’t have that game but it’s very unlikely for any game to be taxing 12 threads to 100%.
Check your task manager if there is anything else than the game eating up your cpu.

80FPS in towns. 120 fps rest maybe

That cooler is nowhere near good enough for that CPU. Especially with MCE turned on.
The reason this game is pushing temps that high is that it is a well threaded game.

So change cooler? Also why my pc not shutdown when temp was 100C?

Delid and get a bigger air cooler or 240mm AIO.

You will want/need a noctua dh15 or a 240mm all in one watercooler.

It won’t shut down but it will throttle to prevent heating up even more.

Or it's the ridiculous DRM.

iakhtar · 18 Feb 2018 at 23:50

even idling on the main menu the cpu gets hit hard, that drm...

muppet · 19 Feb 2018 at 16:21

disable mce then manually drive the voltage down . mine [email protected]@4.8 hope that helps

I'd go with a 92mm cooler being vastly underspec to cool the hex core with MCE adding an overclock to it.

Question. Can i finish game with current temps or definitely stop ?

orbitalwalsh · 7 Mar 2018 at 14:31

I have a slim line 360 to cool my 8700k @ 5.1 with 1.355v - personally wouldn't trust a 240 AIO . 280 is you can- its a hot chip when you hit a well threaded game like that!

but also try remount and thermal grizzle paste- non liquid metal

Delidded?

nope- hits 88c max in prime/real bench etc etc - gaming sits at 54c

need to add a lot of water to coffee

using EKWB SE 360- so not the best rad but silent wing 3's do the cooling work- eisbaer AIO pump/block unit drives it

Decent temps considering. I'm at around 45-50c on a h100i delidded with 1.375v

Raiden85 · 7 Mar 2018 at 17:23

Must have got a decent chip then, all cores synced at 4.7ghz using asus best case scenario uses 1.21v to 1.26v if avx is being used. With avx temps will top out at about 80c, gaming 50c to 65c but depends on the game.

Using a noctua d15 heatsink on a non delided chip.

Doesn't work like that in modern times. CPU just throttles. Get a real cooler dude. Noctua's NHU14S works fantastic, mounts easily, and is very good. Pick up Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste. It took 8C off my temps vs Cooler Master crummy junk paste.

Those temps are not unusual for MCE on. Honestly, I would turn it off. It's horrible. If you want to overclock, then look up a guide and do it manually. There is one review someplace that measured the efficiency of the Asus MCE and there was a 40% gain in heat production for a 10% gain in performance. Fine if you have the capacity to handle that heat, not fine at all if you don't. Switch it off. Your VRM temps are probably high enough to fry eggs.
