I had some blue screens before due a bad overclock settings... so yes :) in my case was de vcore settings, to low.

Go ahead bro, i used to use those Prolimatech until i change them for the Corsair ones just for the look. Good luck :D

Whats your ambient temperature? Unless you live in the Sahara... those temps are not normal at all. Have you tried to mount correctly the cooler? what termal paste do you use?

Cheap and great fans... Prolimatech Blue Vortex 140. Amazon Link

Yes Kwisatz and even in cold days my room is pretty warm (i love it) but i dont like the temps at 4.6 even when i know my friend has air flow in his room he is getting better temps whit an air cooled cpu fan, hahaha.

Yes, the first thing and i check it before like 50 times (no joke)

So i have nothing to worry about? I dont do much OC but sometimes will be great when im rendering or doing something and i need the extra poweeeer... also i disconnect the rad fans and the water and the hoses start warming up not instantly but 5-10 mins after. This fans are the stock ones that...

Thanks everyone :) Well... those are my temps now at 27 ambient. The friend who sell me the 2600k was having the same difference between cores but he still was getting the same temp as me.

Yes, the mounting is ruled out. I can try to open the block and see if theres any wrong but i think i prefer to buy a new one... it can be alot of things, waterblock, reservoir/pump or rad :(

I already mounted like 4 times and im sure that i mounted well same temps whit the last 10 mounts. 2 fans as exhaust in the rad... and i clean the block and the cpu whit alcohol so theres nothing that can make the thermal compound work badly. It is a combined pump/reservoir wich goes to the...

4.6GHz isnt stock speed... and the kit is brand new.

Hi, Araxie. We already mounted quite a few times... like 5 times whit the 2600k and another 5 times whit the 2600 non-k, almost the same temps. It is the XSPC Raystorm 750 EX240 kit... i think the pump is 750 lph no speed controller so it must run at full speed. http:///6BVZMu Also, i use...

Hi, i just bought an i7 2600k from a close friend and i my temps reach almost 80-81c on the 2nd and 3rd core, while the 1st and 4th reach almost 65-69c. It seems that my custom loop does not work well, the waterblock has some scratches and im thinking thats the main problem. What do you guys...

Maybe not bottleneck... but i get alot of crazy spikes wich dont let me to play BF4 and COD Ghosts... Look at the yellow spikes, wich is the CPU. This spikes do not happend whit Mantle... only whit DirectX11.

I already have a R9 290, i bought it for $228 dlls on Ebay whit 1.6 years of warranty left. But for some reason i want the 780. The R9 290 is great but in some DirectX11 games my cpu seems to bottleneck, even when parking core is disable, power options are in performance mode and even when is...
