Afternoon all.
Just before I start ramping in my clocks, I'd thought it would be a very good idea to do a long term burnin in the chip and to get a baseline.
The Corsair has 3 speeds, I set everything to high, and the case fans - 2x 220mm (1 front, 1 side) and a 120mm back.
I clean both plates usinging isopropyl alcohol, the tinted each one. Did a Horizontal with the paste, and seated the block tightening the screws in order of 1x4x2x3.
The paste I uses is Arctic Cooling MX-4 that has Thermal Conductivity W/(mK) 8.5. Personally anything over 8 will do me.
So, off I went, down'd prime and kicked it off. The case screaming, the x2 120mm crappy corsair fans screaming full. I thought I was safe.
I was mistaken.
The temps kept on creeping and creeping, until I had to put a stop to it. leveled about 70 but sometimes hit 77. SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
This series of chip is new to me, so my questions are a mixed bag.
Is this a hot chip at stock speed @ full speed?
Is the H100 kit not as good - does anyone have one that has experiEnced something like this?
ATM, the chip is clocked @ 4.10 temp is 27°c but is just idling. I dual box games so I kind of will psuh the temps in the future.
Obiviously if I want to push the chip a little further I need be able to count on the cooling kit to hold its ground. I know people can say "you should have got this" " you should have stuck with air and a pair of noctua's but
I just didn't want to to get stuck in the times. Most people can only afford upgrade every 3-4 years so I thought this was a good selection.
Thanks for you thoughts, I will try and respond in a timely fashion.
