I got my new system last week and was doing a quick burn in test before trying to overclock.
im using Inter Burntest V. 2.54 on maximum the temp im getting see to high though. it shutdown my pc the first attempt on the 5th pass but i also had a bunch of other stuff running when i started it. 2nd and 3rd pass made it through the 5th pass but i stopped them each time as i was getting worried about temps at the end of each test the heat dropped dramatically by over 30 degrees Celcius.

98C?

What cooler are you using? You won't be doing any overclocking like that. The cooler might not be mounted correctly.
 
I was getting similar numbers from an i7 2600K, turns out the cooler was seated badly on the processor as ocellaris has also suggested.
 
Could my water cooler be at fault here? the temps are within expected range at both idle and when gaming. played a couple hours of games this weekend and while the air under my desk (vented from the fans) was warm i left hardware monitor running and the temps never went over 62 degrees C. any thoughts?
 
Something its really wrong there, first: CPU Vcore MAX 1.304, second: CPU Power package 118W.

that voltage and power usage suggest your CPU are overclocked or you have the issue with skyrocket voltage with stress testing apps (its worse with p95 trust me) heck even my 4.5ghz 3770k which its just a average overclocker take 1.248V pulling 88W max under stress test.
 
Idk, 1.3v is a little high I guess but it looks like manual voltage mode. I'll be honest with you these look like standard temps for a mediocre cooler on a chip with a bad IHS gap on it. Delid that puppy and see what she will do. It's worth more delidded anyway.

Is this manual voltage mode? If not, that's what a lot of people are using full time. If your c-states are set properly you'll still get undervolting and underclocking when idle but you won't get higher voltage than you need.
 
you running way hot!!!!!! I'm getting this on basic air cooling

maybe not using thermal grease correctly or cooler not making good contact......thats just to hot

Completely useless comparison. You can't just compare your x5670 with the OP 4770k. It would be almost aceptable if you were in a similar platform.
 
thanks for all the responses. I haven't even started to overclock. i wanted to get a baseline first and those are the temps i got. im gonna go over the settings again and make sure i didn't miss anything. maybe theres something auto clocking thing to get that high.
.
 
Something is wrong for sure. My system using the same AIO cooler as listed in your sig max's at 80 overclocked to 4.2. I did not use the included paste however but some AS 5 I had which isn't the best by todays standard.
 
OK since my initial post I have reseated the cooler and removed some excess thermal paste. Idle temps went down 3 degrees average. After reading today's posts I looked in the bios and turned off XMP on my ram. And disabled EIST (enhanced Intel speed step) and ran the burn in again. It completed a full 10 passes on max and temps didn't go over 72 C. (Will post pic once current run is done). So now I'm trying a lite overclock of 3.8GHz. On pass 8 and temp is staying 82 C max averaging 79 c
 
You are still not using manual voltage I'm guessing so you are still going to get way more voltage than you need using synthetic stress tests.
 
no i am using manual voltage its set to 1.180 the bios.

Looks like a whole lot of autos to me. I'm not familiar with MSI UEFI settings, but your vcore certainly seems to be throttling down which usually means it can also throttle way up. The cache voltage is totally on auto; your screenshot shows your max VID in hwmonitor but not your max Vcore. They should be the same, though, so I'm not sure what to tell you other than delid it. Some Haswells are way hotter than others just because they have more glue or more gap between then IHS and the die. It's a terrible design that is floating on an extremely robust platform that can deal with unprecedented heat. Running offsets isn't runnning manual I shouldn't think but as long as it works :D
 
Most important info in a "how are my temps" thread would be your ambient temps. Since I have spent more hours of my life looking at hwmonitor than i'd freely admit, i'd assume in your case it is around 29ish C.

Tried oc'ing a machine in a sauna once and it turns out it didn't work as well as a freezer I tried the next day. Crazy ass science people and their magic physics.....

As far as the AIO water cooler just make sure you slowly and evenly tighten in a star pattern...and apply CORRECTLY some decent TIM compound. (don't use your tongue, and don't use the cat to clean the surfaces.) Lint and oil free cloths only.

I am pretty haswell ignorant but from what I have gathered they have a lower tdp than my 2600k and should require less vcore. Unless its 40c in your room 70+c is a bit much, for my liking.

That being said intel burntest is evil and if they made a cast iron skillet I would buy it to cook my bacon in.
 
and with an AIO cpu water cooler (or any waterblock really) you need to remember that the lack of a heatsink with fans on the cpu will make it a requirement to put some air over the VRM and chipset area's of the motherboard. Doing so will be beneficial to full load overclocking. Don't believe me? Stick your finger on one of the vrms while doing a burntest.

Erm, touch the metal portion of the case first, and hopefully you are not doing this inside of an operating clothes drier. (aka discharge any static electricity before you stick a digit in there)
 
Any suggestions on what settings I could change? I'm pretty new to over clocking haven't really done it successfully since the athlon Thunderbird CPU came out ��

Got that covered still have my front 200mm fan plus the one that used to be on top is now drawing in cool air from the door right onto the memory and chipset heat sinks

Manual voltages with no offset for cache and core.
