Guys,
It's been a while since I've posted so I am hoping someone can help me out here. My system is as listed in my sig. Namely the following:
4770k + H100i
Maximus VI Forumla
2x 8GB Kingston 2400 CL11
AX1200i PSU
I've just tried to run prime95v28.5 at STOCK settings (system in sig) using the Small FTTs setting. My temps pretty much immediately shot up to 100/95/94/89 (cores 0-3 respectively). These temps were recorded with RealTemp 3.70. What are your thoughts on this? Is this normal for a 4770k running at stock? It seems (really) excessive to me.
Running the IETU Stress Test at STOCK sees temps hitting the low 70s at their highest so I am alarmed by the Prime95 temperatures. With cores hitting 100 the system will surely throttle/shutdown no?
Secondly, it seems I have a below average overclocker.
At 1.35Vcore/1.9Vin/1.25Vcache I can boot into Windows at 4.6GHz but not get stable. Same goes for 4.5GHz. This includes trying various LLC settings up to Level 4 (50%). The system either hard-locks or BSODs. I am guessing this chip just won't do it and I lost the lottery.
I can get 4.3GHz out of the chip quite nicely at 1.275Vcore/1.9Vin/1.25Vcache and a touch of LLC (Level 1 or 2). The system seems stable and completed a an overnight run (8 hours) of the IETU Stress Test. At these settings I see temps in the high 80s according to RealTemp. I have NOT tried running Prime95v28.5 though because of the above concerns about temperatures.
This is as far as I have got and I am unsure what to do next. As such, I would really appreciate some of your thoughts/help on all of the above. I look forward to the reponses.
Cheers,
sf.
EDIT:
Even running a Blend test in P95 at stock soon sees temps hitting the 100 degree mark WTF is going on???
