I7700k help with oc

Surreals · 20 Apr 2019 at 14:18

hi guys I have a i7700k cpu and a Corsair h100i pro cpu cooler

I am fairly new to pc so bare with me

I just did some Oc bench marks and these were the results

5ghz 1.4v
91 degrees

4.8ghz 1.35v
87 degrees

At this point I think I may have to re thermal my cpu and fitter the AIO? What would you guys suggest as these are poor results.

These were on prime 95 max load when idle the both sit at around 50-55c

I don't understand the question you're asking.

What's the question?

delid the cpu and it will lower the temp 10-20c
youtube it.

I get 4.5ghz 1.18v and 5ghz 1.35v not tried inbetween

just run a game you play all the time...are the temps acceptable...does it crash?

Reality|Bites · 28 Apr 2019 at 17:31

max temps on cores today... 67,62,71,65. core idle at the same temps though

Reality|Bites · 28 Apr 2019 at 17:34

if it were a 6700k at 4.8ghz max temps would have been in the 50c range but skylake freaks out with higher temps and crashes the system

I still don't understand what the issue is.
Your max temps are ok. Cold even.

At idle you should see it drop down to 30-40c, suggests your cpu isn't down clocking when idle to 800-1000mhz.

I sit at a constant 5ghz. 40ish idle

Reality|Bites · 28 Apr 2019 at 20:11

issue he's having is he's using a AIO and was expecting lower temps...he's seen the results with his current config, he's asking how to lower the temps to more comfortable levels.
only options are, faster fan speeds through the rad, delid the CPU and apply better paste and lap the IHS. I had a third option but i'm drinking and it's gone for the min lol.

people with more expensive motherboards get the same results as I do

mattyfez · 28 Apr 2019 at 20:18

Lower than what? Lol!
The cpu will always be between 30 to 40c at idle as it generates heat and assuming ambient temperature (air temperature) is about 20c, then that's about right.
