Temps.

Anyone have a 4570k in a ft03 mini, my 4.5GHz unfortunately reaches the 90c+ are under load, any opinions? would that be normal?

Is a H80i cooling it. Mounting is fine, i will go lower at this point and see what happens.

Not unless HWmonitor is unreliable.

I will have a look, it was a expensive prebuild, i build my own mostly, but it came with a custom paint job.

Unfortunately it may be a case of getting a chip with very badly applied paste below the ihs. My own in sig hits 94c in seconds under p95. Cooled by a big k2 dual tower heatsink and 2x 1900 rpm fans. Same temps despite several remounts of the cooler with liquid ultra paste.

I'm using linx bench. On defaults, it hits the 70's. Even 4.2GHz hits 92c, I may well send it back, what's the point of a K model if you cannot OC.

I daren't even run LinX as its much hotter than prime. And I've also recently had to up voltage a touch. In games it hits 67c max. Intel really cheaper out by using paste instead of solder on theese. My previous ib 3770k wasn't as bad as this despite higher voltage at 4.5, 1.34v. 1.267v on the 4770k. 81c max on the ib.

I was always told it was the other way round.

Personally i just don't use stress programs anymore. In considering delidding this chip to see if i can clock it higher. What are temps like in games or other normal tasks also what vcore at 4.5?

1.25v

Haven't tried any games yet, only recieved it this morning. Should i use msi afterburner for in game temps?

Also i tried Aida 64 and temps were in the 70's, WTF.

So does coretemp not run in the top corner of your game?

Check that your voltage is actually 1.25v in Windows too when you are stressing (Using hwmonitor). Some mobos kick up the Haswell voltage if it's set to adaptive and you use a stress with AVX/AVX2 extensions, like Prime95 or Linx.. so your 1.25v might be 1.35!

Other than that, it's a bad mount on the cooler or the cooler is faulty. What kind of temps do you get when doing normal modern gaming?

Thanks for telling me, HWmonitor is showing Vcore 1.7v and VID as 1.2v, what do i do?
OK, i have been told that the VID is what the cpu ships with, but still seems high.

Try using cpuz and monitor what your cpu voltage is at load.

currently p95 is running, and has been for a while. I have 4.2 at 1.2v and is stable so far and temps are 83c max. HWmonitor shows VCore at 1.824 and Vid is showing 1.199. CPU-Z shows 1.199 as well.

Unless hwmonitor is displaying initial input voltage. 1.199 sounds right going by cpuz.

I will settle with what i have, but is still strange why LinX goes complete nuts with temps and P95 does not. And the people who built it say they were reading 77c average at 4.4 using P95.

Can you recommend a 140mm fan for my rad, i have the 140mm penertrator fan.
