snickersnee Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm new to Corsair and I have some questions :) I have a i7 4790k overclocked to 4.590 Mhz and I think tems are a little too high. On idle temperatures are between 41-45 Celsius (ambient is around 75 F). I used prime95 to test temperatures under load (torture mode- blend) and temperature was around 79 C for first five minutes and then jumped to 100 degrees and I stopped the test immediately. I also noticed something, tubes and radiator were not even warm after six minutes of running prime95. I don't think that's normal. H105 is in push/pull configuration pulling air from the case. I used Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 try lowering your Oc and see how much temps drop,,if a noticable drop you may have poor airflow or your Oc setting are creating high temps.Much depends on what and how the Oc was done...

snickersnee Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 So I did as you said and I lowered Oc (stock settings). I've been running prime95 in blend for 25 minutes and temps are close to 60°C but not exceeding. Tubes are always cold, no matter what's the temp of the CPU. Is that normal? (sorry asking for stupid questions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(sorry asking for stupid questions) if tubes are a noticeable temp difference this indicates an issue,,if both are relatively the same indicates it as being ok.

snickersnee Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 The rubes are the same temp. I've been running small FTTs for 20 minutes now and temps are stuck at 68. I think that's not bad. So it looks like the problem was my crappy Oc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it looks like the problem was my crappy Oc. yes its seeming so,while your cpu can handle that Oc,getting it set up and remaining cool is the tricky part.Id suggest doing as i did,reading lots on settings and such.;): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickersnee Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I need read a little more about overclocking :) Thanks for your help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickersnee Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 So I keep my CPU on stock settings it's about 25°C in the room and temps of the CPU are jumping between 33 an 40-41. Shouldn't they be a little more steady with water cooling system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wytnyt Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 looks quite steady to me,,take into consideration its polling any and all activity.look in your task manager and you'll see all the different programs that's constantly polling to get an idea...

Nick779 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 This almost sounds like a crappy pump. are you running the pump at a flat 12v? Theres no reason a 4790k shouldnt be able to overclock 500mhz on an H105 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no reason a 4790k shouldnt be able to overclock 500mhz on an H105 Read rest of thread. He was around 60 at stock which means cooler is working fine. My guess he used auto oc and it overvolted the hell out of the cpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess he used auto oc and it overvolted the hell out of the cpu. This is pretty much what happened. I just used IntelBurnTest and temps are between 73-75°C (no OC). Is that too high? Pump is connected straight to the psu. This is my first real build so I want to make sure everything is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 That depends on your stock voltage. When running intel burnt estate what does the voltage read in cpuz ? Also you should have pump connected to cpu fan header on the motherboard and the fan control turned off so it feeds the pump max power. This will allow you to check the pump rpm and if the pump happens to fail you will get a cpu fan error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 below is a good article to give an idea of cooling ability and temps and Oc settings for various coolers including the H105... http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/corsair_h105_review,7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will connect the pump the CPU fan header when I get home. How do I control the rpms? Using Corsair Link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODedAssault Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 U don't control pump rpm. Disable Amy fan control on the header that you've connected the pump to in bios. You want the pump to run 100% at all times. Should be around 1800rpm. I think at that voltage your temps are normal. Around 1.25v the temps will creep to 90°C during stress test. If you want any more it's delid time. Wouldn't recommend for your cpu tho. On my 4770k it got me another 200mhz. You should be minimum 4.6ghz on that chip since stock boost I believe is 4.4ghz at the 1.13v you said. If your planning to overclock. Not really needed.

wytnyt Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 reading so many temps regarding the 47** cpu's makes me glad I skipped getting one,seems they could have them a 'lil cooler running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickersnee Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I went to Microcenter and bought a new unit earlier today. I installed it and temps are noticeably lower. I've been running AIDA64 for about an hour now and the highest temperature so far was 61°C and the ambient is pretty high (almost 28°C). I'm not going to overclock my cpu yet, I want to gain some knowledge and experience before I even start messing with it, plus I don't think my cpu is a bottleneck for my system anyway. Thanks for all the tips and information guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Run intel burntest again. Aida64 doesn't get anywhere near as hot as intel burntest, linx or prime95. Bet your temps are identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
