[Overheat3d.net] i7-4790k + Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

Update:
I had to put 1.13v, otherwise the computer was freezing. Now it seems stable after 2 days of usage. I also replaced the thermal paste with Arctic MX-4, but the temperatures remain the same :mellow:

I think you need to put CPU-Z up dude because OCCT is saying your Vcore is REALLY low -

Asrock boards are renowned to have insane vdroop because they are basiclly shit

Aww really? I wanted to buy the asrock AM3+ version for my 9590


Anyway on the point, it's a 4790 guys, without a better cooling option there isn't much of a chance to fix the over heating problem. I would recommend a Dark Rock Pro by BeQuiet. It's actually value for money and a great option if you are afraid of watercooling AIO

Here are all 3 programs that show voltage:

It's probably OCCT showing wrong voltages right ?
 
I have that same cooler in a Silverstone Tek FT02B-W-USB3.0 case with temps of 48c at full load in Arizona in July.
You should get far lower temps IMO. What case are you using?
 
I'm using NZXT H440, but even when I remove the side panel, I get similar temps, i'm the stupid processor's fault
 
Try not to worry about the temperature too much. 78C is fine, even the 100C you've posted in the OP is probably fine too. It'll throttle if it gets too hot anyway.

Just to give you some perspective, I actually work in the industry (although not for Intel, AMD or Nvidia), and I can tell you we bust our balls making sure the silicon will operate at the worst case everything (temperature, voltage etc.) for its lifetime even though most people never use it like that. Otherwise you can't guarantee the product over its warranty period. I can't see why Intel or anyone else would be different.

You get a 3 year warranty (I think) from Intel on their CPUs, AMD is the same too. That means that it'll have to be able to operate at its max temperature, which is like 105C for the Haswell chips and at 100% load 24/7 for that all of time. Most people never do that, so rest easy. ;)
 
UPDATE:

I've RMA'ed the overheating processor and got a new 4790k today.
Ran few fests, it's almost the same :confused:

Here are the screenshots of the new proc stress tests:

Now where the hell is the problem ?? It's even undervolted and still overheating on stock...

Are you using the same cooler? what is the cpu voltage showing in bios?

id like to blame thermal paste or mounting pressure.
but the core temps all seem to be within a few degrees of each other. which seems to imply that is not the case.

I can see that this heat sink has been mounted and re mounted numerous times..
so i wont sugest that..

But hers a question..
your heat sink fan is connected and running properly right?
you havent messed with the fan speeds in the bios or anything?

it may be an idea to set up a fan profile in speed fan.. (its a tiny bit more complicated than just setting it but not much.) if you cant find a tutorial on setting it up on the internet i can throw a quick and dirty guide for you.
 
That's the only thing I've changed in BIOS:

Voltages and temperature in BIOS:

Why are voltages remaining the same after I've reset the Vcore in BIOS to [AUTO] ?

IntelBurnTest with stock voltages set in BIOS:

And why is the HWmonitor showing ~0.9 V on CPU VCORE ?


I'm really getting lost over here.

EDIT:
RamboOC: I'm using new stock cooler that came with the new processor.
shambles1980: I've reapplied thermal compound many times and the difference was always only few degrees at max. I didn't do anything else but undervolt in BIOS. The fan seems to be running normally.

auto at stock clock speeds for voltage is ok. but if you over clock "auto" will always provide much more power than needed.

right now im running my i5 at 1.35v.. (i use offsets and dynamic voltage)
If i set it as auto. i would be using 1.48-1.5v which is just a rediculous ammount of power..

personally.. id set up a speedfan profile for the cpu fan and have it crank up to 100% at 65c see if it can keep it below that.
if it can. i would then start trying to balance out noise to cooling.
 
ok update:

- I have set the CPU cooler to 100% and it's still reaching about 95 C in Aida64 after few minutes.

- I have tried putting the i5-4670k in my motherboard and the temperatures are normal ( no overheating )

- I have tried putting my 4790k in my friend's motherboard ( Z87-G41 PC MATE with 1.80 BIOS ), and the computer doesn't boot - even though that their site says it supports 4790k

- I have also tried replacing the PSU and the problem remains

There is a chance that you have been sent back the same cpu that you had before, it does happen, quite often actually.

and the reason for your cpu not booting in your friends motherboard is that it may need bios update to support haswell refresh
