Hello all!
Recently acquired a 4790K. MB is a Asrock Z97 Fatal1ty. The temperatures are disgusting.
I ordered a Corsair H60, and sadly, while attaching it, one of the posts broke off on a screw, so will be returning that. In the meantime, using the stock cooler.
So here's the issue - with everything on the board turned to Auto (except for turbo on all cores, that's off) - when the processor is on load (running Handbrake for instance), temps are 85 Celsius. If I try to stress it out with Prime 95 (the maximum heat test) or do an export in Adobe Premiere Pro, temps jump up to 100. There is no OCing at all (even have XMP disabled). CPU-Z reports core voltage of 1.197 at full load and going up to x42 on Core 0 on full load (and FSB at 99.94, which is odd). I went into the BIOS and tried manually setting the voltage to 1.125 - and if I put the processor at load under Handbrake Windows restarts with the Windows 10 version of BSOD.
Questions to answer before they are asked: have flashed to BIOS to newest, have 4x4 Gskill DDR3-1600 (all of which pass Memtest with flying colors), 770 GTX FTW card, 1 SSD, 4x2TB HDD's, Seasonic 650 Watt full modular about three years old. Case is Corsair 400R. Two fans intake on HDD's, one fan on side intake, one fan rear intake, two on top exhaust. This was the cooling setup with my 3570k and there were no cooling issues there.
I know some 4790k's have temp issues, but the fact that it won't run at the manually set voltage is weird. Thoughts? Am I looking at having to de-lid or something drastic? I can't RMA the processor.
