SirWill Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 hey, I have my i7-6700K stable overclocked to 4,6 GHz but sometimes the second CPU core jumps from 60-70°C to 80-90°C for few seconds. In the most cases it happens if I Alt+Tab out of a game. Why is it just the second core and all others are fine? Is this bad or can I ignore it if it is not more then few seconds on the temp? Any idea if there is a way to prevent this? Quote
speed.fastest Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 It can be bad contact the tim under ihs, you need to delid it and change with much better paste like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or Gelid GC Extreme. Quote
SirWill Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Hm ok, I used the paste which was already on the nzxt kraken x61. Thought that one is good enough. Quote

SirWill Posted April 19, 2016 Author Posted April 19, 2016 Yes, inside the CPU. That's to risky for me and I also don't want to loose the guarantee. Quote
SirWill Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 No other ideas what could cause that? Maybe a specific bios setting? Quote
TaPaKaH Posted May 7, 2016 Posted May 7, 2016 There might be a specific type of operation that causes heavy load on that specific core, hence the temperature. Quote
SirWill Posted May 7, 2016 Author Posted May 7, 2016 I don't see the load jumping like the temperature: Quote
