Hello guys, not sure if this is the right section to ask this question as its cooling/cpu related.

My 3570k is delidded with a EK supremacy and naked mount kit with liquid metal ultra TIM. I have it running at 4.7 with just enough voltage to keep it running smoothly. It idles around 36 and tops out at around 85 using torture tests. But my question is regarding the way it gets to that temperature. the temperature is very... spikey, so the second it gets a bit load the temp rockets up to that temp or there or there about. My GPU on the other hand which is on the same loop creeps up very slowly under heavy overclocked load which is what I expected the CPU to do.

Is this normal or do I have a heat transfer issue? The PWM is always bouncing around due to the high temperature change in such a small time.

I know the easy answer is upgrade the CPU but it does everything I need it to do at present, id just like to see if I can make the temps any better whilst retaining the overclock. I will post a graph screen shot later when I get home if need be.

Thanks for looking
 
Ohh ok that puts my mind at rest a little. Mines at 1.39v the same as yous but does have my 780ti on the same loop which TDP is at around 450w so can get toasty but still stable.

I only use the burn in test for stability but also monitor temps whilst it's running for obvious reasons lol (tssssss...bang!)

Originally I delidded, changed the TIM to Liquid Metal Ultra and then refitted the IHS, and ran like that for years but then decided to try drop temps by properly delidding

I run 4 sticks of ram btw and thanks very much for your input :)

cheers guys, I thought by using the water block as the heat spreader instead of using the integrated heat spreader as a buffer it would have dropped the temps. For the time being I have reverted to stock and going to start tweak testing again tonight as I think I have some settings wrong giving me the higher temps. If I still get no further I will put the IHS back on at the weekend.
