UPDATE2 "Last Update":- My CPU saga continued getting a AIO does not help a lot I was forced to buy a delidding kit and open the 7700. The thermal compound inside seemed to have some weird tiny bubbles on the surface wiping it off and using some silicon based thermal paste did the trick though...
UPDATE: Sorry for waking up this dead thread but someone from Intel came to check the 7700K out and I showed him the high MAX temperature to which after about 10mins of testing responded by telling me to stay stock forever and that MAX was just a result of a spike and the CPU's throttle...
Got contacted directly by Intel since I had lodged protest letter in their regional office. They have told me a engineer will come and take note of the temperature spike and if it cant run within specified parameters on stock with stock heat-sink they will give me a replacement.
That is good...
yes its much better than before the CPU is running at stock speeds but under voltaged by 0.040 and ASUS Turbo enhancement, etc disabled
The weird part is although Furmark and Prime 95 run fine together but games like kerbal space program keep on crashing does that mean the underclock is...
This is interesting while I was checking on alternatives to the pea size drop method for the thermal paste with respect to 212 LED I came across this review https://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cooling/2017/01/11/cooler-master-hyper-212-led-review/2 for the 212 LED. Notice how far this 212 is from...
I think you are right infact this also explains why Core1 is hotter than Core0 by 4-6C. Also another point while comparing to my old 212X I was correct the new 212 LED weights less by 24g in terms of heat-sink only. Given the construction materials are the same old same old this 24g also matters...
The GPU is a 1080 ASUS ROG Strix 1080 factory OCed with three fans.
I have managed to get the temps down to about 84C on Prime95 after a bit of under clocking and reducing the vcore a bit will share the results when I get back home.
With both the CPU and GPU stressed "Prime95+Furmark" it does...
While I agree with you that the 212x is good since I had it before the new 212 LED that I have is certainly lighter and not as effective. Given the popularity of the 212 CM made compromises with the 212 LED to make extra bucks I would think.
Based on my experience with this there is certainly a...
Ok an update tried to get the CPU exchanged to a different batch but could not get them to agree. Intel warrenty is there but its a lengthy process, I also got a new metal brace for the 212 in post from France which has given the 212 even tighter fit and I got the best thermal paste in the local...
Thank you all for the pearls of wisdom some bossy than other :P The case was on sale and is a silent one so took a chance with it, sadly cant return it since it was a "On Sale" item.
Returning to the topic I have ordered 4 more 120mm fans to populate the case, lets see what added fans will...
With side panel open and both Prime95 and Furmark running the max CPU temp reaches is 97C. So shifted that intake fan in-front to the side panel and now with only Prime95 the max it is reaching is around 87-88C this is using Arctic Silver 5
The mobo is a Strix Z270G GAMING and temp are around...
Its a cooler master Silencio 652 which had an included 120mm fan in the front for air intake and another 120mm exhaust fan. Airflow is unimpeded with the PSU being modular and me using zip ties for the cables where needed, I can try Arctic Silver 5 and Antec Gold "Silicon" but dont know if...
This is my latest build to play some Andromeda but after doing assembling the whole PC there seems to be some problem with the 7700k or the contact between it and the 212 or is this what you all are getting?
In my search I can see that 7700k with CM 212 are getting around 70-80C max but then...
