i7-3770k Hot

[eric838]

Hi!

I recently bought a i7-3770k with an Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe mobo. I got some warning "warning cpu centigrade 71,00" So I downloaded CPUID Hardware monitor Pro. I saw cpu temp go up to 90 celcius so I shutted down my pc immediatly. I used remover/purifier then added artic cooling mx4 thermal paste. When I look in bios, cpu temp stay between 40-45 celcius and cpu voltage between +1.048 - +1.058 (auto). After windows booted I looked at temp using CPUID again. Temp was still between 40-50. Few minute later, temp goes up between 70-75 (but didn't have that cpu centrigrade 70.0 warning).

So do I have to set-up something or maybe I have to replace that CPU?
BTW CPU isn't O/C.


Thanks!

Ivy Bridge processors aare known to get hot, but it shouldn't be that hot at stock settings. What heatsink do you have? That may be part of the problem, as IVB has a higher heat density than Sandy Bridge (the previous generation processors) and the thermal design is known to be poor for removing that heat. If your heatsink isn't powerful enough, the heat may be building up faster than it can be removed from the core.
