Hey everyone,
So i tried to bump a thread to get an answer but it didn't work, so I've started a new one.
I've got the i7 2600k and the NH-D14. Idle temps are 37 - 41 (lowest to hottest core) and full load at 4.5GHz is 62-66 at stock clock max temp was 59. These seem really high to me and I've already re-pasted once. Am I using too little paste? is this normal or am I just plain unlucky.

Thanks in advance, Ryan
 
Maybe I'm being paranoid then lol. It's stepped up to 70 top end for a few second but seems to run mostly 68 on hottest core and 63 on the coolest. weird temps but as long as those temps are good I'm happy.
 
depending on ambient temperature and caseflow, that looks pretty good. what vcore voltage are you using?

3770k

hey guys i am new to overclocking. but i have my 3770k running @ 4.5 GHz, 1.235V and it is stable. i ran prime95 for 45 min on the "blend" test and on "in place fft's" accidentally for almost an hour (i just closed the window, apparently that doesn't kill the process, i had to go into the task manager to end it when i relised that it was still running) and my temps were way too high. ambient temps in my room is 24c. my hottest core was at 96c and my lowest was at 85c the package was at 89c while prime was running. at idle my coolest core is 42c and 49c on the hottest core. the package 50c. i have a NH-d14 mounted. and i have re-mounted the cooler reapplying the the thermal paste grain of rice method. what can i be doing wrong?
 
Could you be having an issue with one or two of the fans? Make sure they are running an max RPM? I assume the fans and rad fins are clean? Good source of intake air from the front of your case?
 
Try with your case's side panel off. If temps drop heaps then you should look at some more intake fans. If bugger all change you may not be getting proper contact with the cpu.
Ivy's are little ovens though.
Since you got it stable at 1.235v start to drop that until it fails. Will decrease temps a little as well.
D14's are inho the best air cooler ever but they do have there limitations. If you were going to run that oc with load temps like that I'd be looking at water-cooling.
 
Reseat the cooler, check that the backplate is where it's supposed to be and apply a tiny smooth layer of the best TIM you could find (prolimatech pk-1 suits that cooler a lot).

Improve you cable managment and that's about it. You can then blame intel for not soldering that HS on the die, or be the brave one to delid the chip and re-apply some liquid pro there, too :)
 
hey guys been a while but i got everything sorted out.
4.6Ghz @ 1.224v stable 6 hours of prime 95
hottest core 72c max, coolest core 64c max, package max 75c
at idle 31c max!

gave my tube of noctua TIM to a friend then i when i clean my pc i took off the cooler to blow it off. i used some EVGA frostbite that i received from one of their sweepstakes.

i didn't want to order any so wen to radioshack, worst excuse for an electronics store, and picked up some artic silver 5 that was packaged as radio shack TIM.

75! If mine reached that I'd be re-considering my overclock and voltages. I can get a stable 4.8Ghz at about 68C Max package running OCCT in Linpack. Although saying that this new motherboard seems a hell of a lot more stable!

That's because you've been blessed, my good sir. Average temperatures are around what Benito's been getting - he has nothing to worry about. Now, if your temperatures suddenly shot up like that, yeah, you'd have something to worry about.

Maybe this is true, temps were warmer on my old board and I've got a pretty good i7 (silicon wise). I also have my Noctua fans on full spin and I can't remember my voltages but they are set pretty low. It's also been freshly pasted and dust cleaned (Friday 11th jan when I got my Gigabyte board)
