Hi all,
I recently built a new machine with an i7 4770 and the stock Intel cooler that came with the processor - I am not overclocking anything. My motherboard is also Intel - the H87-based DH87MC, and I'm running on Windows 8 x64 w/16 GB 1600 MHZ RAM. Power supply is a 1000W Thermaltake.
The cooler is quiet and such during normal use (internet browsing and such), with the processor hovering around 38-40 C, but I noticed after testing out Crysis that the fan got fairly loud and temps were 80 C or so.
To see how the cooler was doing under load, I downloaded the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and ran the CPU stress test. After about 3 seconds (!) into the test, it showed my CPU temp hitting 100 C even with the fan cranking away at what seemed like full speed, and I started getting warnings (critical temp seems to be 90 C).
I bought a Noctua NH-L12 (1) cooler, but I mistakenly bought RAM with high fins so it won't fit. I am returning the RAM and getting lower profile stuff / no heatsink fin RAM so I can put it on, but of course I wanted to try my machine so I just put the stock cooler on for now. But now I'm worried that maybe the processor, MB, or PSU are faulty. Should this thing really be shooting to 100 C so quickly?
Thanks for any help you all can provide!
