Hi!
I know this is a common issue, but I didn't find helpful solutions on the internet (other than re-applying thermal paste).
When running Prime95, temps goes up to 100°C very quickly, voltage of 1.23v, thermal throtling on 2 cores.
But at idle the CPU runs at 4.4ghz on 1.23v at a healthy ~37°C (or less), which is good.
I find it strange that the CPU temperature is good at idle, but very hot under 100% load. Is the voltage to high?
Room temperature is around 20°C. Here is the spec of my fresh build PC:
Case: Bequiet Silent Base 800
CPU: i7-4790k, stock speed
CPU cooler: Bequiet Dark Rock 3
MoBo: MSi Z97 Gaming 5
OS: Windows 10 x64
Thanks!
P.-S.: Re-applying thermal paste is the
last option because this cooler is very hard to install
