4790k Overheating 80+C

[spartin503]

I've had the 4790k that I have now for about a year and it has always ran hotter than the benchmarks I've seen online, but I figured mine just ran hot. I used to have an H100i and while running OCCT stress test it would be running around 80C. Today I got a H100i GTX and I gave the H100i to my friend. The H100i on her CPU is working fine (3770k with OCCT at 60C), but my H100i GTX hits the 85C limit of OCCT in a few seconds and while running Cinebench it hits 90C in about 5 seconds. I have already reseated the CPU once, reseated the cooler twice and applied new thermal paste each time and it is still running really hot. Do any of you have ideas about what I could do?

Does the Corsair Link software show the pump is running correctly, and that the fans are speeding up? Try switching to performance mode.

Corsair Link shows the cooler is working fine and I moved the cooler to another computer and it worked fine in it. I have 200mm fan in the front of my case, and the H100i GTX in the top, there's no cables in the way of the airflow and will all of the fans at max, and with the vcore at 1.1V, and with my ram set back to default I was able to keep it under 75C.

You say you have the vcore at 1.1v, at what frequency? What fan profiles fo you have set? Seem either your fans arnt running at the right speed or your cpu doesn't like the multiplier. I've run a few cinebench tests on my 4790k and get around 56c something is definitely amiss with your chip. Silicon lottery could be a factor but I doubt it with these revised devils canyons.

What sort of temps do you get with everything @ stock. Might be worth starting any OC from scratch, learn what your chip is doing.
