SirWill Posted April 19, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed.fastest Posted April 19, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWill Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, you mean the paste inside the CPU? (Sorry, newbie here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWill Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWill Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 No other ideas what could cause that? Maybe a specific bios setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 There might be a specific type of operation that causes heavy load on that specific core, hence the temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWill Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 I don't see the load jumping like the temperature: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
