I just got a 3770k to replace my 3570k and when I overclock it the temps are much higher. My 3570k ran at 4.3ghz at 1.21 volts and underprime it was about 65-75 c It goes up and down. Then my new 3770k at 4.4ghz at 1.21 volts was running about 75-88 under prime. I can also run it at 4.5 at 1.25 v but have not done much testing becasue of the heat. I am wondering should I delid my processor to acheave lower temps? I am using a hyper 212 evo push pull and prolimitech pk-1 TIM the rest of my specs are on my profile.
You might have got a bad chip.
dat silicon lottery
as far as voltage goes its actually a good chip its just the damn temps I think I am going to delid it tommorow
I still don't understand why Intel went from soldiered IHCs to thermal paste and glue, I don't care if it costs 2 cents less than the soldiering process. Coupled with the fact that they use the worlds cheapest thermal compound between the chip and the IHC.
Ya they pissed a lot of people off with that including me because now I have to take it apart to get my 4.5ghz OC and stay under 90C. Then they did it again with Haswell.....their really dumb I almost bought a second hand 2700k to avoid this lol. But I will make a post on the process and the results. I am going to use AS5 or PK-1 TIM when I do it.
As long as you don't use too much, any of the high silver content thermal compounds should do the trick. And use a very thin coat of silicone high temp gasket sealer around the edge of the PCB to hold the IHC down should work. Make sure you let the silicone set for at least 12 hours with a fan pointed at it, 24 hours without a fan. That would be the best way to get a permanent fix to it if you weren't using the metalic thermal glue you can get.
