CPU overheating.

[Todor_Todorov]

I have this problem where my CPU is overheating when I am playing certain games and sometimes the computer just goes off when the tepmeratures go too high. My CPU is I7 7700K and I am using a stock intel cooler.

The stock cooler is made for the Core i7 7700 non-K AFAIK which has a lower 65W TDP! The K series is usually not bundled with a stock cooler,as Intel intend you to buy an aftermarket CPU cooler. Also,I would make sure you have enough airflow in the case too.

Will this cooler fit:

Thank you, I will make sure to adjust my overall case airflow and I will probably order one of these cooler you have provided.

What motherboard and RAM do you have(just to make sure its compatible)?

What motherboard and RAM do you have(just to make sure its compatible)?

My motherboard is ASRock B250M PRO4 and RAM is 16 GB 2x8 2133 Mhz.

Take the side off the case. The temps should drop. If the system still shuts down it’s likely the HSF isn’t up to the task.

My motherboard is ASRock B250M PRO4 and RAM is 16 GB 2x8 2133 Mhz.

Its not helped by the motherboard being basic(and the RAM being slow) so you are loosing some performance there too. Hopefully,the new cooler and constant airflow should hopefully be enough to keep the CPU,and the motherboard VRMs cooler.Looking at this website the cooler should fit:
