Hi All!
I did a new build about a month ago and I have noticed some unusually high temperatures with my 7700K.
I originally had a Hyper 212 cooler on my build, but after seeing the temps I decided that maybe it wasn't cutting it so I switched to a Corsair Hydro H80i v2. However the temps are basically the same with either cooler!
Turning on XMP in my bios is also causing temperatures to jump even higher. I am turning on XMP for my 3000 MHz ram, but I also notice it overclocks my 7700k to 4.5 GHz. I have been using a combination of OCCT and RealTemp for stress testing and temp readings.
Here are my temps:
No Overclocking at All
Idle: 26c - 32c
Full Load: 65c - 72c
------
XMP Turned On (Which also overclocks 7700k to 4.5 GHz)
Idle: 36c - 45c
Full Load: 75c - 85c
------
Like I said, these temps were basically the same (give or take 2c-4c) whether I used the Corsair Hydro H80i v2 or the Hyper 212 coolers. I have re-done the mounting and thermal paste (ARCTIC MX-4) at least 4 times to insure that I did not screw that part up. I also have the latest bios update for my motherboard.
Are these temps normal? I really thought going with the liquid cooling solution would make a huge difference.
Here are my basic system specs: 7700k, Corsair Hydro H80i v2 Cooler, ASUS Prime Z270-A Motherboard, 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3000MHz, GTX 1070, Multiple case fans
