Just installed a new 2400G and its a tad hotter than what i was expecting.

Previously i had a 3570k (stock) in the exact same case with the exact same cooler and i was getting temps around 65 degrees.

With the 2400g at stock in the exact same case/cooler I'm getting 85 degrees.

Are these just very hot chips? It only seems to really ramp up the temps when running heavy CPU loads. GPU loads seem to top out the temp at 65ish.

Just wondering if its worth reseating or if its normal i will just de clock it to get it around 65-70 degrees.

Thanks,
 
MSI B350M Mortar board, Silverstone TJ08-E case, Thermalright HR02 Cooler.

Slight strange fan arrangement, i mount a 140mm fan in the front of the case which is only 20cm away from the heatsink so I've never bothered with the CPU cooler fan. Worked well for the 3570k for the last 5 years.

I was expecting temps around the same as the 3570k as the TDP is not miles apart (65 vs 77watts).
 
I will have ago at remounting it with some new TIM. I bought the updated AM4 mounting kit from thermalright so it should fit correctly.
 
Should clarify I've removed everything (HDD cage etc) and i have serious OCD about cables. I also use a lot of acoustic foam to pad the interior of the case to further improve airflow from front to back. The fan i currently use is a Corsair ML140 as the Silverstone 180mm fan is very noisy. I will try with a separate 140mm fan on the heatsink itself its just a shame as I've had the 3570k in the exact same conditions for years doing extended times encoding and always kept below 70c.


Idle temps sit around 36 degrees with the fan at 400RPM it just seems a bit strange that when under load the CPU has such a massive temp delta.
 
Been testing yesterday and managed to work out at least some of the problem. The motherboard with boost on gives the CPU in the region of 1.36 to achieve 3.9ghz default boost. If I disable boost and leave on auto voltage at 3.6ghz it gives the cpu approximately 1.25v which gives max load temps of 62 degrees and which is far more acceptable for my usage.

The only frustration I have at the moment is no matter what I do in the bios the motherboard keeps the voltage on auto. Not sure if anyone has any experience with MSI motherboards, but is there an option I need to enable to stick to manual voltage?

I only had the stock cooler on for a day and feel reluctant to change it all back over.

Is thermal grizzly much better than arctic silver 5?
