Holy 95°C, Coolerman!

The difference between various TIMs is about 10 C at most, and most are under 5 C difference. AS5 has the downside of requiring a curing time and being conductive in addition to being one of the more mediocre TIMs.

I quit using AS5 after my sponsored pile ran out. Pretty much use MX2, MX4 and ICD these days.
And a slice of this if I'm really in a pinch... (Kyle told me to do it)

Finally got around to changing the cooler out. Slapped an h110i on it. Temps are much better. However, still having stability problems. The corsair 3000mhz ram 2x8 kit I picked up for him will not run in its xmp profile. It will boot, and do desktop stuff, but if I load up a game or 3dmark, it CTD. If I turn the xmp profile off, it is stable. Gonna try and get back over there tonight and spend a few hours with it. We are both off tomorrow, so late hours tonight with it won't be a problem.
 
skip xmp and set it manually also bump the ram .05-.1v. so if its 1.5v bump to 1.55 or 1.6v. every set of corsair ive used needed more juice. there are several threads around here where kyle and I talk about it and he even had to bump it for the ryzen 5 build(talks aboot it in vid).

That was my plan. I think I noticed it was trying to run 1.35v, it I didn't have time last night to fool with it. Had to get home.
 
Well, voltage is at 1.35, which is what corsair has on the white paper for these modules. Checked event viewer, getting a 0x0000005 error on the crash. I'm running memtest right now. Just running hammer test, starting pass four. No errors yet...
 
i'd bump it to 1.4v. if I remember right that's what kyle used on the ryzen 5 oc systems.

yup went and look he used 1.4
 
yes that was on ryzen but the issue is still the same. ive had it on amd and intel systems.
 
I've never ever had to give RAM more than the manufacturer stated voltage when running at advertised speeds.
Seems to be working now. Uninstalled and reinstalled the programs in question, no more problems
 
Looks like serious TIM/Mounting issue. I have not used that TIM before, but that does not look like the surfaces were properly mated.
 
I just remounted Hyper 212 Evo after switching out my Plex server CPU to a 3770k.

I had a helluva time with overheating and throttling. But I knew the limit of my 3770k and I wasn't even close to it. Tried remounting several times with Noctua NT-H1. Still getting super high temps and throttling. Then I used google to look up Hyper 212 Evo and TIM application, and found something that worked for me. Apply paste on the bottom of the 212 itself then used a razor blade like a knife to spread it thin. It spread like smooth peanut butter and now I am at 80 degree under load @ 4.8 Ghz/1.42V. I have never used IC Diamond so I am not sure if it'll spread as nice as the Noctua did.

To be clear, I put three thin lines if TIM down the "cracks" of the copper base and dragged my razor blade perpendicular to the cracksso that the TIM would fill the cracks and ooze out to spread across the rest of the copper base.

I would set everything back to stock and see if you can load the CPU and what the temps are. You are getting the cart way before the horse.

Already did that. After the h110, temps are great. No CPU OC. Can't seem to get the system stable with the xmp profile on the RAM. Just booted at 1.39v for ram, gonna see if that works

I am sure the temps are great but, what are the temps? The Hyper 212 Evo should have given you great temps as well, at stock speeds at least. I am using a 212 on my second computer with a Ryzen 7 1700 at 3.8 Ghz and 1.3125v and the highest temp I see well stress testing is 68C. (IBT AVX Very High 10 times.)

Max is now 61° at 4.8
 
weird results, that cooler, even without a fan on it should be able to keep the 7700k cool at idle initially. maybe not 30c cool, but definately enough to not throttle. Now if you added some load it would definately start to climb and without a fan, no way to cool off the head on the heatsink, it would eventually get heatsoaked, and get you up to 100c. now i dont understand the from 35c to 99c t instant load thing, that shouldnt happen, it should work its way up, maybe quickly but not instantly. Only thing with that is if say its in some power saving mode and running at say 800mzh at .75v or something, and when you put it under load the voltage is jumping up to say 1.4v at 4.5ghz or something.

did you check the voltage under load , i think default is like 1.25, so if you see it spike up before the BSOD could show if maybe the xmp profile is messing with the cpu voltage, or if some auto overclocking feature may be enable on the board?

i would test this, and mayabe start prime with 2 threads, then 4, then 6 then 8, and see how it changes.
 
i did , i know you swapped to a H100, but that still doesnt explain the issue with the 212. i was putting in my 2 cents, on that, i mean this thread technically is a mute point now, because the h100 took care of your problem, but it doesnt answer the why you had the issue you had with the 212......

The original problem was the terrible ICD, and a small voltage bump to the RAM
 
Smaller amount of TIM may help, but that can't be the only issue if the disparity in temps you are seeing is THAT huge.
 
I've overclocked pretty much every processor I've had; now maybe I'm just super lucky, but I've yet to have one reach end of life.
I think the first was a K6-2 than an Athlon 700 after that (I believe I did the pencil trick on that and got it to 800, but it's been awhile).
 
I don't know, there seems to be a lot of talk about the hardware without talking about the fan control software. Is the ASUS fan control program properly loaded and were all the setup options run? Are these the temps with the fans running at maximum? Is the software properly ramping up the fan speeds as the temps rise? Something's missing here or I'm missing something.
 
He already resolved his issue, for some reason Kamber decided to necro the thread?

(in reply to Kamber: it is if you're using IC Diamond)
