I think I have a high temperature on my cpu and I am looking for a way to cool it down.

I just upgraded from i7 2600k to i7 3770k. I used the same cpu cooler for i7 2600k and temperature was about 28-32C on idle and 58C at 70% CPU on 4GHZ overclocked.

I installed i7 3770k on same motherboard and same cooler, with arctitc silver5, then temperatue was about 97C. I do not know exactly the problem there. I tried several times, still same result. then I decided to put stock cooler. temperatue is now at 44C on idle at stock speed, room temperature 30C. I also opened the case lay it down with a fan blowing to it now.


can any body recommend at cooler maybe dual fan cooler or water cooling system or maybe a thermalelectric product for me? I need intel push pin type. I don't want to take motherboard out.
 
The cooler you used would help to know, also assuming since you are asking for pushpin, best bet would be you had the other cooler mounted wrong and it was not making proper contact with the IHS of the CPU.
 
I don't remember model of my old cooler, I believe it is cooler master TX3.

I know ivy bridge can get hot but what is normal temperature should be? I have seen some discussion on web say they could get 29C on idle with air cooler. I have 45C at 5% CPU at room temperture 30C on stock cooler. I think that is a bit high. weather was extreme hot here last few days, and room temperature reached 33C. would room temperature affect CPU temperature too?


I really don't want to take motherboard out. there is tons of wires and stuff in there I would need assemble everything again.

I have done some research to find a dual fan cooler or water cooler, with push pin, no good result. any suggestion?
 
The cooler you have should cool allot better than the stock cooler, so you should try remounting it and make sure the pins are all the way through and its mounted right. You said nothing about OCing so that cooler should be more than enough, so will the stock cooler. Also idle temps mean nothing at all, its all about load temps with computers, DL IBT/Prime or the like and run it to see what your temps are, also you will never see sub ambient temps on an air cooler, the HS will only ever at best get within a few C of that, most of the time about 5-10C higher, so in a 30C room you are going to see 40C+ even at idle, the stock cooler is not about keeping the CPU as cool as it can, it's about noise without going over TjMax.
 
ok. I run prime95, intel burn test, and OCCT 4.2. temperature is 87C-103C at 100% CPU.

what about case open or closed? right now I have case side open, the case is placed download with a fan blow to it.

Holy hell those temps are high. You might want to check and make sure your bios settings are correct for CPU voltage, etc.
 
First things first
1) post your SYSTEM Spec's
2) check Bio's
3) remove Clean paste from CPU and Sink...
4) check and make sure sink will actually work w/ that CPU(might not be make'n full contact) should but just say'n
 
settings in BIOS are in default, I did not change anything. voltage are in offset.

the case I have is raidmax smildon, I think it was manufactured in a cheap way, panel on motherboard side could not close perfectly, otherwise it will be easily get grounding issue when install motherboard, so I really don't want to get a cooler that require to remove motherboard.
 
So the Bios is seeing your new CPU correctly ? IF so then
it is on to step #3...

or just let that new CPU.... burn-up :eek:
 
An H80 keeps my 3770k 29C idle and under 80C at 100% load (Prime95) @ 4.7GHz ~ 1.35V. Never leave the voltage on auto!! It always overvolts (increasing heat)!!! Get an H80 or high end air like the noctua nh-d14
 
Are you using auto voltage? Auto voltage on my 3570K always gave me +10-15C compared to when I manually setting the voltage. Hell, my 4.7ghz overclock with manually set voltages runs at about the same temp that a 4.2ghz overclock on auto voltage would give me
 
I am running a i5-3570K at stock with a Zalman CNPS9700NT with Noctua's thermal compound and my processor idles in the 40C's. Big surprise, considering I have the same cooler on a 1090T that idles in the late 20C's to 30C's. Decided to run Prime95 for a few hours and the processor never went over 65C according to CPUID Hardware Monitor. Maybe its because we are in the midst of another good ol' Texas summer. lol. Pulled the system out and went through step #3 and #4 and got the same temps.
 
yes I think voltage is on auto. what voltage should I set to?

I searched for socket socket 1155 cooler with pre-applied thermal compound, result all came from arctic cooling. Alpine 11 GT Rev. 2, Alpine 11 Pro Rev. 2, Freezer 11 LP, Freezer XTREME Rev. 2, Freezer 13 Limited Edition, Freezer 13 PRO. which one is better? or is there better choice?
