i7 6700k Stock Fan Temperatures?

[UsandThem]

More often than not, when it comes to Intel who places their pins on the socket, it is usually the motherboard.

But if you examine the motherboard and don't see bent pins, that might be a bad sign.

Dang. Going to check the pins again tomorrow and try to take pictures. Either way I am going to RMA it already took it out the case and all.

I saw in the video where the PC is in a reboot loop, but what error code was showing on the LED on your motherboard?

They kept flashing and changing.

I am opening an RMA ticket today.

 

[EpicSurvivor]

Here they are. Managed to take some pictures with the Phone. I think its the best I could do.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Hmm, don't see any obvious bent pins in the picture.

Me either.

I wonder if the CPU suffered some type of internal damage when the new heatsink was installed. Unlikely yes, but something happened. Does the top of the CPU have any area that it slightly bent or not totally flat?

Do you have a local PC repair shop that you could take your CPU to and have them test it? You can always try to remount it on your board one more time, and see if it was just making bad contact or something odd.

 

[EpicSurvivor]

Local computer shop said they couldn't do it. I already took the MoBo out the case. Going to send for repair today. My hope is they should give me a diagnosis when they return the MoBo. Either they fixed something on it or they found nothing wrong. Its one of two things or maybe both CPU and MoBo might be damaged. I just hope its MoBo because I could replace it for one that cost $120 but not the $350 CPU. Just my thoughts.

From 0 to 100 what are chances its CPU and what are chances its MoBo?
E.g. 70 its the MoBo and 30 its CPU?

I am so worried like you can't imagine that its the CPU that is damaged. I am so broke right now.

Oh and if CPU was damaged would Intel warranty cover anything? (Really hoping they would)

No idea on odds. When troubleshooting a PC issue, it's a process of elimination until you find the issue. It's tough to say, so I will just say 50/50.

You can always try to RMA the CPU if Gigabyte says your motherboard is fine, but I have no idea how thorough Intel is when it comes to inspecting RMAs sent into them. I do know from previous posts here Gigabyte will inspect the motherboard with a fine tooth comb, and if they see any physical damage at all, they will void your warranty and mail it back to you.

Intel will exchange the CPU for you. That should be no problem.

Awww man. Awesome. I hope you right bro. Going to wait and see what Gigabyte says about the Motherboard. Once I get back the MoBo from them I am going to re-build the system again. Hoping it will work this time.

So here is the deal the MoBo was sent for RMA to Gigabyte. I sent it to this address 17358 Railroad St, City of Industry, Ca 91748. I just printed it and tapped it to the Box but tracking says the item was delivered today to Rowland Heights CA 91748. They are not too far from each other but its not the right address.

what do guys think is going on? Tracking say it was delivered today. But on the RMA page it said the item hasn't being received yet. Could be its not updated yet? But given there is 2 different addresses I figure it got sent to wrong location?

What are you guys thoughts on this?

It can take up to a week to be updated. If it hasn't been updated by then, you can shoot them an email. It usually only gets updated when they actually start inspecting/working on it. Motherboard manufacturers don't have the best, or efficient RMA departments.

I wouldn't worry.

 

[EpicSurvivor]

Awww man I hope you guys right. I was stressing out about this. Even called Gigabyte but got no reply.

Will check on my Gigabyte RMA status to see if they ever update information.

 

[EpicSurvivor]

After waiting 35 minutes to Speak to a rep he confirmed the package did arrive today. He said information on the website takes a few days to update.

 

[EpicSurvivor]

Alright update. Gigabyte said the following "The MoBo was tested trying different configuration and no errors/problems were found" they have shipped it back to me today. However they didn't provide any tracking information at this point.

I just took this short Clip of the CPU it looks intact doesn't it? So if Gigabyte said MoBo is fine then what could have caused the Problem from the Original Video?

 

[EliteRetard]

I've been away, busy helping out Humpty Dumpty and a few others.

Sorry to see you're having issues.

Yeah I didn't see anything wrong with the socket, and the CPU also looks fine. I looked a bit, and didn't see any evidence that the m9i is anyway dangerous to Skylake or any other CPU. Intel rates Skylake at 50lbs static load, the m9i doesn't weigh much hanging there so you'd really have to crank the bolts down to hurt anything (and you'd see it on the CPU afterwards if you did).

I've had some weird on/off shit like that happen before (that wasn't CPU related), and it does seem like there are avenues that weren't explored. The rebooting issue almost looks like what you get with improper BIOS settings (could try a manual reset). I've also seen issues with RAM doing weird things, perhaps try 1 stick of RAM in alternate channels (2 channels for 6700k), and then try the other stick. Also try without the GPU installed. Edit: Oh also, try with the least amount of USB etc plugged in...maybe even start with nothing then add a keyboard, then a mouse etc. I ran into a PC that threw a fit with a USB hub once (was probably feeding power back).

As was previously mentioned, alternate tightening the screws (a couple turns each side) when mounting a cooler so you don't end up with uneven pressure on the CPU.

Oddly enough Gigabyte sent my MoBo back stating there was nothing wrong with it. After installing everything back into the Case today but using the Old Stock Intel Cooler the system has being running great for about 1 hour so far! the issues haven't happened again from the Original Video. The Computer now boots with no problem. So CPU isn't damaged either.

Weird thing is that the Computer is making a weird noise so I tried stopping one fan at the time (Except CPU fan) but the sound kept happening. Only thing that could be causing this sound is the PSU. But when I take the side panel off and put my ear up to it don't sound like its coming from there. Going to do a Short Video trying to record this sound.

Its weird, no idea why it would be doing this all of the sudden. Or Could it be the Intel Cooler? I honestly can't tell.

Posting a video in a minute.

EDIT Or it could also be my 1TB HDD? I don't know

What's your GPU? Could be coil whine from PSU and/or GPU.

 

[EpicSurvivor]

Its not GPU because Fans are not spinning (GTX 970) I believe this PSU is like the GPU and it won't Turn the Fan on until a certain wattage or temperature is reached? but not sure was just looking that up online.

Not sure posting the video is going to help because all you hear on the Phone is like you are in a Wind Tunnel.

NOTE: The humming kinda stopped a few minutes ago? weird. Now it sounds like Normal Computer with Fans.

EDIT: Its not GPU fans are not spinning yet.

I believe its HDD Noise or PSU Noise not sure which one but I am leaning towards HDD noise. Its kinda annoying.

So I have an i7 6700k with a Stock Intel fan but the temperature is getting really high. (Pictures below) After gaming for 30 minutes my Temps got up to 100c? I have nothing Over Clocked. I don't know how to Overclock so I haven't tried it. I just bought the i7 6700k for its raw performance power.
My computer was built February 2016.

I took my fan off and put it back on after re-applying the thermal paste. Turns out that when I built it I might not have pushed one of the Fan pins all the way in into the motherboard causing my CPU not to cool properly. However even after fixing this issue my temps are reaching 85c from gaming for 30 minutes?! this can't be correct?

Picture #1 (Before fixing Fan)

Picture #2 (after fixing fan, notice the temps went down but still not good enough)

Here is also this, you who knows what all this means might be able to tell if something is wrong.

Download two applications called Process lasso and park control and set both to balanced or power saver mode.

I recently sold my HSF cooler for a AIO but rolling a temp intel stock fan with my 4790 and it is almost embarrassing how Intel stock fans cannot stop thermal throttles. AMD run all over intel when it comes to thermal conductivity and stock coolers, which is a slap to intel to get their game into gear instead of relying on 3rd parties to provide even basic cooling. There is no reason why AMD's wraith spire can cool a 1700 at 3.9ghz while the stock crap from intel can barely keep an Pentium cool.

Yeah my guess is that something got angry when you removed the MOBO/RAM. Hard to say for sure what it was, but I had a few possible ideas. Certainly didn't look like any socket/CPU damage.

Anyway, does your case have a cutout in the back so you can try installing the cooler without disturbing anything again? If not, I'd still try the installation again. Tighten the cooler down a little bit each side and then just be careful to return everything exactly where it was (RAM same slots too).

UPDATE: 8/23/17
I Ended up sending my Mobo back to Gigabyte for an RMA for the second time this year. This time I asked them to not send me the same Motherboard back. Its being a world of difference with the Replacement. My computer is stable, no random crashes, no freezing, no stuttering, it feels smooth and fast as it should feel from the beginning specially when its something new.

I also ended up Installing a Cryorig M9i on my i7 6700k (Stock NO OC) and my temperatures look great! This is an amazing little cooler, its a great replacement from Intel Stock cooler.

I believe I am on an earlier BIOS Version. So I haven't flashed BIOS yet and don't see a need to do it right now but I did however Lower the Vcore Voltage in BIOS to a negative offset of -0.140v setting my Vcore Voltage at around 1.20v
Nothing to brag about at all but I think it looks nice!

This is what it looked like with a 15 minute on RealBeanch

And this one was done using PRIME95 for 15 minutes (Probably not long enough but is good for this)

Thanks for the update. Glad you were firm with them to get what you needed!
