Overclock 6700K Max Temps Prime95 Small FFT
Good day.
So I've overclocked my 6700K to 4.5GHz; this required 1.3V base and with LLC=6 it goes up to 1.360V in extreme situations, and this is where I am wondering if I screwed-up the heat-sink/termal-paste somehow. What temps are you guys seeing when you run Prime95's Small FFT (Maximum Heat) on your overclocked CPU? Because on mine that particular test can make the temps climb all the way to 93C. The heat-sink is a really good one (NOCTUA NH-U12S) but it doesn't even get hot to the touch, it is barely warmer than room temp, and I used good Arctic Silver TIM. While I may have placed a tiny tiny bit too much I was real careful with the stuff (maybe I didn't put enough?) Under normal testing I have good temps, but under that extreme Small FFT Prime95 test, my CPU really cooks - do you all get the same temps on air? Thank you. Best Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !

Best Regards, That heatsink seems to give pretty good performance here, in terms of the degreesC/W. http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...id=2749&page=5 If the internal case air is at 35C, the Noctua added 20C (to get to Tcase), you added another 25C case to junction (unknown, guess), the Tjunction should be around 80C. Check and make sure the computer case has a big enough fan on the back (to keep it at 35C). If you notice that the CPU temp *drops* when you take the side off the PC, that means your case cooling sucks :-) My case cooling isn't the greatest (since I fitted a quieter fan on the back). I'm using the GPU as a proxy for case air temp here. The hard drive is in the front of the computer and hasn't budged. You can see the GPU temp coming up a tiny bit, so I'd have to leave it running for a bit longer, to get a true final temp. You can see I could push this thing harder, but I'd have to fix VCore somehow (too hot). https://s28.postimg.org/ve04pgfl9/prime95_test.gif That's cooled by a Noctua NH-D15 (with the center fan fitted). I de-tuned the PC a bit when I got it, as the default Asus settings were cooking the Vcore regulator. I turned off the Turbo (which wouldn't make any difference in this case, as it cannot Turbo if all cores are 100%). The measured power, using a clamp-on ammeter, was 156W, before I turned down the setting. That's the power feeding into VCore (ATX12V). I have no easy way to measure the current flowing on VCore itself. My clamp-on ammeter cannot fit around the copper plane :-) So my conditions aren't even close to a match for yours. My Vcore heatsink was running 65C with the original settings (with Prime95 as the test), so I couldn't leave the thing that way. It probably won't go into thermal runaway, but I'm not taking a chance. If only I'd remembered to check the size of the VCore heatsink before I bought the motherboard :-( Mistake. Take a picture and show the dynamics of your setup, from "idle" to running the test for 7-8 minutes. Just to give some idea what hops up first. https://postimage.io/index.php?um=flash Things that matter: 1) Bent CPU. 2) Condition of the Intel TIM, between the silicon die and the lid. Intel used low-temperatore solder between the CPU and lid in the LGA775 days. To avoid "conflict minerals", they went back to conventional dough-like material on the newer processors. 3) It would take a generous, gushing layer of AS5 to insulate. On the "too lean" side, you should use an inspection mirror from the side, and look for the color of the AS5 wetting the junction. Depending on the size of the heatsink, it might not be possible to eyeball it. I apply half a rice grain bit of AS, compress, verify the spread diameter, then adjust the dose for the second and final installation. Then, hold the inspection mirror around the side, and look for a wetted junction. Mine don't generally gush all over as a result. I've under-dosed at least once, and then it was third-time-lucky. I stopped spreading it with a credit card, a long time ago :-) That's just a waste. Paul |
Overclock 6700K Max Temps Prime95 Small FFT
I have my 6700k at 4.5, I just use the xtu and tweak the memory timing and multiplier. When I run adobe media encoder or matlab sim, both keep the CPU at 95-100%, for couple hours at the time, my CPU temp doesn't go over 70.. and voltage is around 1.21-1.29 ish.... I have an Itx case with 980ti which the gpu generates more heat than anything other components..

Best Regards, Your curve seems to have a longer rise time than mine, almost as if the cooler is being "overwhelmed". Heatpipes have a limited thermal pumping capacity. If you manage to keep all the working liquid in the vapor phase (no chance to condense), then the temperature shoots up. The heatpipe has some sort of "watt rating", over which it's probably not going to pump heat like it should. Each heatpipe has two drops of fluid in it - there isn't a couple of ounces of the stuff. Heatpipes can also leak and fail, but that hasn't been a problem for years and years. Manufacturers have figured out how to make good heatpipes. When heatpipes were still a novelty, at least one product shipped with no fluid in any of its heatpipes. Making it gutless. You could try a more powerful fan on the cooler. The other issue with these designs, is "no cowling". Mine doesn't have one either. A cowling on the heatsink, would ensure that any static pressure the fan can develop, goes through the fins. Since I own a 37.5mm thick fan, if I had to attempt a retrofit, I'd do a sheet metal cowling, plus fit the 37.5mm thick fan. That's to get as much air velocity as possible through the fins. I've only done one cowling/shroud for a CPU cooler here, in the time I've worked on computers. Air cooling goes asymptotic over about 800LFM (linear feet per minute). Run of the mill electronics, might use around 200LFM. So there is a point, where "mo fan" does "no good". Paul |

When I did 4K encoding with adobe I have it running overnight a lot, it's stable plus able to do work while it's running encoding, the CPU is at 100 but system is responsive... one thing I've noticed, it really depend on your ram, you can't install more than ddr4 2400....

Likely leaving no choice but to take it apart and verify things. I agree that the silicon die on your processor, is probably pretty tiny. (All that FINFET goodness.) Which puts an extra responsibility on the sole plate of your Noctua. If you had one of those coolers where the bare pipes touched the processor, then a couple of the pipes might be carrying all the heat. Yours has a sole plate, so that gives a bit of spreading. The newer processors have a thicker lid, which was added for spreading angle too. 6700K - de-lid https://hardforum.com/threads/6700k-...sults.1878870/ Technique demonstrated on a 3770K https://forums.anandtech.com/threads...-tims.2285595/ The first one, shows the motherboard measurement tool showing 177W when a bit more than your voltage is applied. The second article, shows just how thick the IHS is getting on these processors. It's there to get spreading angle and make the thermal footprint larger on the lid surface. For best results, the heatsink should be oriented such that it had the feet of the pipes going across the thin dimension. If just one pipe runs along the die, that would give poor cooler response. In this picture, you could compare the three screws of the normal socket mounting hardware, to the orientation of your setup. I would guess they don't arbitrarily rotate the die, between 3770K and 6700K :-) But who knows. http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/j...0kinsocket.jpg My CPU would be a bit different, as the die is square on mine. And the lid is soldered down. I believe at the time, that was part of my buying decision (4930K or 5930K). Too bad I was such an idiot on motherboard selection, and am now limited by a gutless VCore. http://i.imgur.com/ZnOF6xh.jpg Paul |
