i7 4790k unusual high temps ??

[breckjensen]

hello,



So recently i've been getting crashes while playing games that i found out after analyzing dump files are propably connecter to overheating. I did everything new drivers clean windows etc. (Ok i actually wanted to reapply thermal paste this morning but i found out im out of paste lol so i cant even boot my pc now). So yesterday i did some stress testing to see and holy --- its one hot boi... The lightest prime95 test resulted in jump to 95 deegres in like a second and the normal one resulted in bsod in 2 seconds my idle temps were also closer to 50 than usual. My cooler is pretty good Cryorig H7 thermal paste was the one that came with it. I know its not the best cooler for overclocked i7 but crashing while playing games and bsod in 2 seconds ? My i7 was oced to 4.5 on 1.180v, my mobo is asus maximus hero vii, psu is corsair rm 750i. Will do an update after getting new thermal paste and reseating the heatsink(propably monday) but for now what do you guys think might be the problem?


Please help.

Thanks!


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
