Pec0 Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 That is really odd, I used to have the same CPU/HS a while back and had a fairly good OC on it and never saw temp issues. What kind of temps are you seeing? Also, what kind of voltage is being sent through the CPU? I haven't adjusted the voltages at all and I haven't even started OCing. The temperature reaches 80oC and the OCCT cuts out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandoPatriot Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Maybe you just happened to get a bad chip? Or heatsink improperly mounted? Or thermal grease applied incorrectly? Too many variables with high temps to narrow it down to bad cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did say he reapplied the thermal paste. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword_fish Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 too much / less TIM applied might hinder heat transfer. heatsink free of dust build ups? how's the fan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pec0 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Well he did say he reapplied the thermal paste. =/ Because when I installed it I put it on the wrong way round only and my Heatsink didn't fit, so I took it off, turned it but didn't re-do the thermal paste. YEah I know I'm a noob. I also followed the guidance of this you tube guy: He states that once you feel some resistance you should stop screwing in your heatsink. I did this. However checked again late last night to find that I was little early when I stopped. The heatsink wasn't on just tight enogh. I'm now getting temps of around 70oC under load. Much better eh?
