Heatsink problam ?

Hi,

I am currently running a G3258 @ 4.6Ghz 1.550v.
I am using a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO heatsink with the stock fan on it. I am hitting temps of 90c on the CPU but my heatsink is not getting warm at all... Is that normal if the heatsink is almost room temp (Even @ the heatpipes coming out the bottom) although my capacitors are running quite hot

This is all just stress testing it right now... I am planning to run it @ 4.4Ghz @ 1.275v which I know works already.

That doesn't sound like a heatsink problem. It looks as if your CPU voltage is excessively high. If you want to take your chip to the limit you will need to improve your cooling.

It appears to be rather a lot of voltage for that clock speed too but it's also possible your particular chip just isn't that strong. I certainly would not recommend running that daily, don't exceed 80°C maximum load temperatures or ~1.3-1.35v.

well I was never planning to bump it that high but since I got tired last night, I left it there and decided to keep on going today. When it was @ 4.4Ghz http://valid.canardpc.com/mhdzmb it seemed fine and the max temps seemed to stay under 80c. Also, does giving the CPU cache offset + 0.050V a good idea to stabilize it?

Intel Speedstep a good idea ? (Its disabled currently)

 

[JR23]

Your 4.4GHz settings seem like a much better overclock.

Most would say disable Speedstep, C states and excessive LLC so your CPU remains at a constant voltage and frequency/multiplier. That should make it the most stable at the lowest possible voltage, particularly in the transient stage between idle and full load the board isn't varying any parameters so there is no risk the voltage won't respond fast enough etc.

If the Cache voltage bump is helping you get it stable then +0.05v doesn't sound like too much but if it's not needed don't bother.

is 4.5 @ 1.425v a bit too much ?
(Very rough OC's)

It is higher than I'd be comfortable running.

Yes. Wouldn't go over 1.3v tbh dude. The chips die fast these days
