7700k massive temperatures!

High guys! Im new here.
Im getting high temperatures on my 7700k. Massively. Not runnign anything like 40-50C, easy games 70C, AAA gamea like 80C. And on prime95 fuking 100C in a few seconds.
Thought it was the cooler. Changed into Noctua 15. Then the Case( changed into spec omega Corsair). I also got an AIO H150I PRO Cooler (360mm). Good termal paste used. Nothing it's really helping.
If u want to know GPU is 1080ti, MB a Z270F gaming, and 16 DDR4 RAM.
I checked yesterday cpu voltages and I think it was 1.150 V, so not too high, right?
So?? Can u help me??
 
NHD-15? What's a 15?

What is your ambient temperature?
You "think" that is your voltage? Find out for sure what it is on load.
Is your pump pumping water?
Are you running stock speed?
Have you looked at your thermal paste application and tried reapplying?
What does your airflow look like in that case? What are your fans doing (location and direction)? Top/sides = intake, top/rear should be exhaust.
 
Are you sure 100c and not 100f. possible you toggled C/F in monitoring application? Check your pump. If you are Overclocking then double check all your voltage levels. IF you are overclocking and nto sure what you are doing I would reset bios to default and see if that helps.

100C is 212F is very hot.
 
What is the room temp? Are the heatsinks set up tight on the motherboard?

Yes de NHD-15.
Room temperature is about 23-24°C. Voltage I mean it wasnt 1.3 or something stupidly higher. Lets say 1.15-1.18. Ill check it again as soon im at home.
Paste should be ok but I can replace it again (any advice). Pump its working. Or thats the feeling I have on the tubes.
Case airflow its: Input 360mm radiator in the front side, one output fan back side and another output on the upside. Ok right?
My motherboard has an autoOC from 0.9% so it shouldn't be the problem, before I set that Auto OC temperatures where not much better.
 
Sounds like a bad mount or thermal paste application. Did you remove the plastic cover on the block?

When you take off the heatsink, share an image of the top of the processor/what the thermal paste application looks like.

Its 100C with the Prime95 I stopped it in a few seconds. With the Noctua NHD-15 temperatures were also not much better. As I said MB has an AutoOC from 0,9%, so nothing really important. And before that, was also not much better. I didnt any OC by myself.

Actually in the last AIO building I just used the pre - applied paste on the cooler because I also thought I was doing it wrong, and I read that the Corsair H150i Pro paste waa pretty good.
Ill remove it as soon I am at home and send u a photo.
 
Are you suffering performance issues?
It should definitely be throttling down if it's going that high.
If you're not throttling you may have a bad sensor.

Not really cause the 100°C was only during the Prime95 and I stopped it in a few seconds. But I still get like 85°C and peaks of 90 by playing Battlefield V. Once I got the blue screen, but was whit my old bad case.

Don't do Prime95...It messes with my 8700k temps too.
it's summer here and I've been hitting 80c playing Call of Duty WWII... It's not as hard on hardware as BF-V so that may not be an issue.
Do you still have the log file when you had the blue screen?

Have you recently updated the BIOS?
Are you running XMP?
 
By the log file u mean where it says the problem happened? No, but it was temperature for sure. I had to open the glass panel to be able to play with the old case.
Not running XPM as long as I know xD.
Didnt check Bios lately.
I still think u can not have those temperatures with an 360 radiator cooling. Room isn't warm at all with the air conditioning.
Btw installed some temperature sensors last time so I can check temperatures on the case once im at home.
 
OH this is just about Prime. Yeah Prime can really overheat your processor...actually if that is the only issue then as a Doctor would say to someone:

Patient - "Doctor it hurts when I do this"
Doctor - "Don't do that anymore then"

Prime is not a realistic test anyways. Your CPU will almost never run all cores/threads at 100% workload. And if it does it will be for a few seconds...not minutes on end.
 
IDK if I agree with that. IF ambient is high, and waterloop is weak once water hits heat saturation temp would rise pretty fast.

A safer test in the same realm would be using AIDA64
 
At stock speeds, even P95 shouldn't reach 100C..............
you're still thinking it's a voltage issue huh?
LoL


Ok...
Let's try downloading something like NZXT CAM to monitor the voltage.. Something that can give you high/low/average

I don't care for Corsairs software suite.
 
I have near the same setup running @ 5ghz and ive never got near your temps , I think running prime for a hour the peak was 85c last time I run it, in cinibench it reaches about 75c after about 4 runs. id repaste the cooler, somethings amiss if that don't work id try a bit of undervolting to see if its getting too much voltage.

a 360 aio is weak? His current NH- 15 is too?

He said he reaches it in seconds... it should be clear it's not a saturation issue.

why are you laughing???

Did I ever say it was a voltage issue? Wrong thread??? Wth?? All I said was to confirm it, just in case. Just one pellet in the shotgun blast.

Why not use something like hwinfo64 or hwmon what many would consider to be more accurate across systems than AIB software. ;)

Im using HwMonitor btw. And yes. Tempetature go high to 100C in seconds by running Prime95. I still think thats not normal. At all.
 
That isn't normal. That tells me there is poor contact somewhere. Be it IHS to block or internal to the CPU. Even if it wasn't pumping and the water was ambient temp, it would still take longer than that for temps to shoot up.

To be clear, you were using the 360 aio, but went to the Noctua NHD-15 cooler, right? (how about you create your system specs, please, so we can see exactly what hardware you are working with).

A picture of the top of the processor and bottom of the heatsink will be key in helping give you direction. :)
 
What is your room temperature like? Blowing hot air on a hot component just makes the component hotter

Hopefully the cooler is convex or flat actually.

If anything replace the cpu or delid it.

Reduce your vcore and other voltages if possible.
 
Can we establish CPU voltage on high load, if only to rule it out because I see a hint of an overly aggressive auto voltage when CPU is on a high load, I only say this because if the OP has tried 3 different coolers, some decent he can't of fit them all wrongly, well err probably not.
 
Im at home now. Ill check Cpu temperaturas and voltages with the HwMonitor. And then if u say all is ok, ill remove the AIO Cooler to check the paste. Have more paste here to replace it.
 
What paste do you use?
