My current CPU temps 100% load at 5.0

Should I be happy with 64, 65, 64, 60 (sometimes 59)? I've removed the H100i a couple of times in order to remove the fans (once to be able to plug a case fan behind the left water cooler fan, and again to change out the stock H100i fans for Fractal Venturi Static fans). I never re-applied thermal paste. I know people say, "bubbles" but I'm not so sure I want to re-apply another thermal compound, given that the H100i thermal compound is pretty good and that my temps really haven't gone up.

Should it be mandatory to re-apply the thermal compound after removing the water cooler (not once, but twice!)? Would I possibly see mid-50s temps on load if I did? I have new thermal compound arriving tomorrow, just don't want to ruin a good thing - mid-60s on load at 5.0 Ghz is not bad in my opinion.

Helps if you tell us what CPU you have....

If you've removed the block, you should reapply thermal paste. Also, what CPU do you have? We can give a better answer if we know.

If you've got a 4790k and you've overclocked it to 5 GHZ and those are your temps I find it extremely unlikely you'd get that with an H100i, I have an H100i and a 4570k overclocked to 4.5 and I'm getting 75c on full load.

Have you run prime95 on your machine and maxed it out at length?

Thanks

It can do it at 4.9 and 1.34 volts 1.9 Input Volt. It will crash after a while at 5.0 and 1.4 volt, never does in games. At 5.1 it's a no-go no matter the voltage.

1.4v on what is essentially a high-end air cooler is going to blow that CPU to bits.

Yeah it froze on the 1st pass at 5.0, corrupted my windows, had to repair. I ain't ever loading that POS Intel "burn" test again. It's a CPU killer imo.

I'm doin fine at 5.0 and below 66 temps at load (Cinebench and games). Don't know what that Intel Burn Test or Furmark etc etc does, but I don't like it. It's not healthy for an otherwise, STABLE, PC.

HAHA,

No that's a tool to test if your overclock is stable, which it isn't. It's not a CPU Killer, your overclock is rubbish and unstable... Sorry.

Did this thread just turn into a troll?

For me i have found i like realbench and x264 Stability Test to be decent if i can pass them im usualy stable in anything sometimes i throw in some prime95 pre avx.

I believe so, either that or this is an "epic thread o' fail"

Froze on the 1st pass of IBT and corrupted your Windows install? Your overclock is terrible then.

IBT is not a "CPU killer", its a stress/stability test. The real CPU killer here is your overclock.

Windows corrupted because your overclock is bad and it has nothing to do with intel burn test. It would have happened eventually from any normal usage. I doesn't matter how long you ran your game or if you can pass cinebench, it isn't stable and it will fail again.

Guys guys guys, listen, he's not going to pay any attention... Either, he's seeking attention or his arrogance exceeds even my own. At least I have some justification behind mine :)

It NEVER fails from 100s of Cinebench passes. Score is usually 1012, or over 1000 at 5.0.

Also, to ALL of you naysayers: have you ever thought that my FREEZING problem is due to my z87 Sabertooth motherboard which only dons 8 power phases? I believe that 2 of the 4 ram slots are damaged now as well. 2 and 4 work better it seems. I have USB connectivity issues with this board as well.

Heaven will freeze from time to time.

Okay, I gave OP benefit of the doubt at first but he's quite clearly trolling.

Try realbench or prime for stabelity.

Its perfectly normal that u can run certain programs and games at youre OC and yet not be 100% stable.. but if it works for you?..

What games can u run?

My 4790k did 4800mhz in 1.28 vcore in allot of games and realbench for hours. Then i loaded bf4 after a while not playing it. Crashed after one hour. Now my cpu needs 1.3 vcore to be stable. And where 49x at 1.3 worked thats no longer possible.

Btw his temps on that cooler depends on his ambiant temps and the load. Games dont stress as much as prime etc..

Edit: i mean temps wont ever be as high with games than with certain stabelity test programs.

All of them. I'm at 1.37 voltage, but it shows up as 4.024 (or something). Load-line calibration is 'Auto.' In fact, I've since changed 1.37 to 'Auto' and uncore voltage to 'Auto,' was 1.29. Input voltage is 'Auto' now, was 1.9 (which would show up as 1.92 in the BIOS). All sets are pretty much Default in the bios except XMP (mem voltage is 1.65 by default due to the c9 2133 sticks which I overclock to c10 2400). PSU is Titanium 850w Seasonic. I'd first thought that that could be causing screen freezes, but it's only a couple months old and it is the PRIMO PSU in Seasonic's lineup, so that would be sad if it is. GTX 1080 Stix is not overclocking as well as it once was, but I read that that is normal that in the beginning you get higher clocks and then it "settles." I get 2128 core and 5591 mem, with custom fan curve. There is an issue with a new installation of Nvidia drivers that causes screen freezes before the first reboot after installation. Very strange. I get Very high frames UNTIL I reboot, no matter the version of Nvidia drivers, so something gets changed on reboot.

Tests on the Intel SSD show much life left.

My last z97 attempt at upgrade, the Asus fried within a month, so I had to go back to my z87 Sabertooth, which still works, but I suspect there is a problem here, maybe on the northbridge. The mobo temps are fine on 3 of 4 sensors. The 4th is always DOUBLE the others' temps at 100% load, at almost 70%. My new case fans helped drop that by about 5 degrees. The Same high temp on the 4th sensor happened on the new z97 which got fried.

I used to get a "clock interrupt on the secondary processor" BSOD before I revamped my whole unit. Now Never, but the mobo is Still the lingering "old" part I have left (along with the drives). This PC is so fast all over and in games, internet, everything. There are no bottlenecks. I suspect mobo is the problem with my lone issue of Freeze screens (with no BSOD) that either require a hard reboot or it will reboot on its own. It will freeze and I hear music and action taking place but not able to move mouse, keyboard, or control alt delete. This screen freeze happens in Heaven, games, and in of course, Intel Burn test. Never got this with the z97, but it went caput (when I experimented with my ram timings while still oc'd at 5.0 - shouldn't have done that, but oh well).

I do hours upon hours of research into any part I may buy be it Guns or computers or whatever, a humidifier, water filter, anything.
