My current setup is a 4790K running at 4.7ghz (1.27v) cooled by a Thermalright True Spirit and 2 x 140mm fans (push-pull).
With this setup, I was getting temps greater than 80C during Prime95 testing. I delidded the 4790K, reapplied Noctua NH1 between the die and IHS, as well as between the IHS and heatsink. Initial tests looked good after the delid, with max temps dropping 70-72C...almost a 10C drop.
Now a week later, I ran the same test and the temps on cores #2 and #3 shot up to 85-88C! I'm seeing a huge variance in temps:
I did everything by the book and didn't apply much thermal paste. Prior to delidding, the variance in temps was much less and they were all within a few degrees of each other.
Any idea as to the problem? I'm guessing a gap between the die and IHS. Maybe I didn't put enough TIM, as I put much less than the original Intel material.
