I'm stumped here,my i7 860 idle temps are around 30c,but under load using IBT on max temps go as high as 85c quick,vcore is 1.35 @ 4GHZ..Cooler is CM Hyper 212 PLUS.
Any ideas guys?
 
sounds about right for stress testing temps.. nothing to worry about.. you will never see the same temps with IBT in any application that could some how load up the processor to full load.. its exactly why they call it stress testing..
 
Seems perfectly normal and 85c in IBT is nothing to worry about at all.
 
These processors usually don't need that much Vcore, drop it to 1.3 and ou may see a 10c drop in temps

Not stable at less than 3.5,it freezes up.
But I cant tell how stable it is at 3.5 either,if I let IBT run it goes passed 85 C and right into 90s so i shut it down,I guess 3.5 GHZ is all i am going to get with this cooling where I can test it for stability..
 
If temps get as high as 90C, you might want to reseat the heatsink and/or reapply the thermal paste.

Yeah ive done that like 4 times,Arctic Silver 5,I tryed spreading it,I tryed a straight line of it across the cores,even tried filling in the the gaps on the heat sink itself,with the cooler its different than a full copper pad.
Anyways It ran 15 passes @ 3.6 ghz @ 2.4 vcore at around 90C,best I think I can get,any more it starts to declock itself,lowering multies..Was hoping for more..

Do you mean 1.4v? What are your temps at lower voltages?
 
I was wondering what temps do you expect? 85C for 4.0ghz with HT is not that off the charts
 
isn't that 3.6?

Should be 200 X 20
or 190 X 21

Try the 190 X 21, see if your temps improve
 
Problem solved,I received another cooler,same model for another build,took mine off and added the new one and temps at load dropped 10 to 15C,so there must me something wrong with this cooler.

Perhaps the original one was defective.
