Thermal shutdown - Intel

[savagesam117]

My google is weak, maybe i'm just too hungover, who cares..

I thought i'd have a few games of Blops 3, had AB open and after a game or two the CPU was sitting at 101c!? When do they shut down due to being too hot? I thought it was 95c?

My god I didn't realise Intel coolers were THIS bad! Off to OcUK shop to buy a proper one!

Sorry, I forgot to add that, It's a 4790k @ stock.

That means about right, it did start to get a bit jumpy so it could have explained it. Yeah my air cooler didn't fit in this case so had to pop this one on Might just go and buy a h55 or something today, I get discount with the people in purple shirts so it's not to bad.

Doubt the problem is solely the cooler, sounds like the tim under the ihs is incorrectly applied from factory. Friends 4790k was atrocious even on a h110i, for him he had to delid and reapply colab silver to cure his 90c+ temps.

I've had this chip under a WC loop for ages running at 4.8 ghz not topping 55c so nothing wrong with the chip I've probably just poorly applied the TIM and added with it's terribleness it isn't helping at all.

Yeah I know, I had an old Phenom chip that I couldn't get over 50c with a stock cooler!

I think i'm going to wait until broadwell-E before i go x99.

I found out why it's running so hot, it's running at 4.4ghz and 1.21vcore. God knows how, I didn't touch anything in the bios when I put the new motherboard in. Back to stock we go! Hopefully that'll help a little.

No it's solid 4.4. Not turbo. All 4 cores running flat out, it's not even dropping back on idle.. Stupid thing. I've never had an MSI board before and the BIOS is really confusing compared to my Asus board.

Seems to be hitting about 80c on stock in game, so better. Still need a cooler though!

bigger problem here than the cooler buddy.
i run a 4770k on an none copper intel celeron cooler for about 3 months it maxed out at 72c playing bf4 for a few hr's

stupid question but your not overclocking are you?
and ever more stupid but you have the fan running yes??

The comments in the thread give all the answers!

^ That was my problem then!

I have a decent cooler now, in my ITX case it doesn't go above 65c @ 4.7. Happy Sam!
