Just got back into gaming and PC's from a 10 year break. decided to jump in feet first, so your gunna find me asking lots of overclocking questions

Hi,

Nice rig

 

[Liqu1dShadow]

Thanks, decided I needed to get into the thick of it fast lol, still got bits to get, but my CPU temps are through the roof at the mo, 105oC @4.2Ghz, though adjusting the vCore and PLL to 1.12v / 1.6v I have it to 80/90oC but still too high.

I will be di-lidding the CPU next weekend with Liquid Metal Pro to see if I can get the temp down further.

Very nice rig indeed... But man those temps are high!!

 

[Liqu1dShadow]

yeah I know, even at stock speeds (3.5Ghz with boost to 3.9Ghz I was still hitting 92oC.

Though It was running vCore 1.24v and PLL of 1.8v, since thats been altered im running WAY cooler.

With a de-lid I think i will be in the 60's @ 4.2Ghz

Ill get some pics as well.

Have you tried reseating the heatsink?

 

[Liqu1dShadow]

yeah, and pushing on it as its running a prime95, its pretty much the TIM under the IHS as far as I can tell. not looking forward to doing it though
