SpikeSoprano Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Your idle temp is more normal now and I don't know what you used to test for load but if it was prime or another high stress program you can blame the 84c on your stock cooler, so I would say the cpu is fine. Some advice if you plan on oc'ing, get a better cpu cooler. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 The reference cooler is not that good to be honest. As long as you stay less than 100C you should be good. I'd be happy to send you a better cooler for free but the shipping alone would be ugly to say the least. You are currently having summer temps in the lower hemisphere correct? What is your ambient temperature in the room that the computer sits in? I think this might be the one thing we missed before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 For test I used 5-7 minutes (to raise some heat) of Wolfenstein New Order at .. medium.. the game goes really really well (FPSly talking). I don't see it as a heavy game while at the same time is graphically amazing. I do not OC so I never bothered to use a best cooler.

ccokeman Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 One more thing did you Diable Q Fan control in the BIOS to let the fan run at full speed? It allows the fan to run at full speed this way rather than being controlled by the boards BIOS and sensors. Make sure the clips for the heat sink are secured in the board. I know after a few times they like to get a little finicky and sometimes do not fully lock into place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragsman Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 All my life I applied thermal paste to my PCs and once work PCs with the "spread method" From today I will try the "dot method" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-q4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) Ok first of all I always used and stil using ASUS EPU-6 Engine just to reduce energy consume. I'm the eco friendly guy you know. So CPU is always at 1.6ghz and sometimes it goes to 3ghz. I only put CPU under performance mode (which will be a "normal state") for gaming. Then CPU work always at 3ghz. But fan doesn't depend on it. It will perform due to processor temp. If it goes higher the Fan goes highter aswell so now the state IS. Idle = 36 Edited December 12, 2014 by Fragsman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 That was waaaaaaaayyyyy to much paste on the CPU. Looking at the picture it looks like the one side was not properly locked into place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragsman Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Perhaps, if you ever messed with Intel stock coolers you know it might be complicated to make it fit. I have broken 4 or 5 legs of 2 coolers already over 9 years. They can be easliy broken. The expensive ones are a bit harder to put because you need to remove te motherboard completely but.. I guess it worth it. At the end one of those can last for YEARS. You only need to change the fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I ever broke an Intel cooler was when I turned the lock the wrong way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah, I've never been a fan of the click and turn type of cooler securing pins...they've just never felt good no matter how much faster and "convenient" they are. I'll gladly spend the extra time setting up the backplate and screwing down each corner of the CPU. I always feel like those little turn clips are going to slide and pop out while in use, gives me goosebumps just thinkin about. (though it kind of looks like that's what's happened, or whether they were never secured in the first place or not, who knows) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
