I think its throttling.

Well now that im all all finished with my build I tested a few auto overclock settings and am pretty happy over all.
Right now I have it selected to extreme profile #1 which auto set my 8700k to 5GHz at 1.35v and I am getting 52c idle and about 80c max temp but am spiking to 85-87c on 2-3 cores but then quickly drops back down to 80c? This is when the cpu is under extreme full load using CPUZ bench tool.Only using a Hyper 212 Evo Plus. Not sure what everyone was talking about when they were claiming that the cpu gets hot and needs extreme cooling?Anyways I am going to change back the bios settings and run at stock speeds for now,not that I am worried about temps but just feel that the cpu is fast enough at stock speeds for me.
Apparently, I bought some Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra a while ago (I found it just yesterday), and I purchased some Conductonaut recently specifically for delidding. I'm practicing on the G4400 right now. I removed the IHS, but I've got some thoughts that are making me wait a tiny bit...
I did buy some 1mm syringes to test with, and they'll be here today.
- What's the best method for putting the IHS back on? I've seen some use super glue, but I've also heard that it's not really the best method, because if you remove the IHS again, you could damage the processor if the glue holds too well. I've also seen some use high-temp gasket sealant, but there are disagreements over how to put it on. Some apply it just like the original material (all the way around with a slight gap). I've seen some that just put a dab in all four corners (like they do with super glue). I've seen some people that say that you should use a syringe to put the sealant on to avoid putting too much on.
- How do you know what's too much TIM? When you're dealing with a conductive TIM that's near sensitive electronics, you don't want too much. Since I'm pretty new to this stuff, I don't know a ton about its viscosity, and essentially, how much material looks right. I've also seen most videos put the TIM on both the die and the IHS.
Can you see the pictures now? Also yes I love the case so far. I have had it like a little over a year and it has seen 4 different builds and upgrades. I was going to get the Corsair Carbide Full Atx Case today but it got put on hold till I can make up my mind on if I wanna spend another $130 bucks on a new case or cooling.I guess the only thing I kinda dont like about it is the fact that the USB ports on the front are upside down which can be a hassle sometimes plugging in controllers and what not.The pics are missing?
Just noticed you have the same case as me. How are you finding it?

Well, you don't even have to. You can just let sit on there, but keep in mind that it will slide around a ton while you try to clamp the CPU in. This time I used gasket sealant. I just put 4 tiny dots on each corner of the IHS and then clamped it down (because I was using a Rockit 88). You aren't going for an air tight seal (note that even the stock stuff has a little gap where none is applied). The only purpose is to hold it in place long enough to clamp it down. It isn't going anywhere. Last time I did one, I didn't even glue it, but it was a pain to mount due to that. I know that Rockit even suggests superglue, but I feel safer with the gasket stuff. The tool makes the whole process a lot easier compared to my last no glue, razor blade one.
For the liquid metal TIMs, you just put a tiny, tiny dot, spread it, and add more as needed. What you want is a thin layer coating the whole thing. Just keep brushing it to spread it, and if you can't get it to reach the edge without getting a gap in it, add ever so slightly more until you can cover the whole surface without any of the underlying material showing through. You won't need any appreciable thickness, but you will want to have total coverage. Just start small, and add tiny amounts as required until you have brushed the whole surface covered. It will look a little lumpy, but there is no helping that. It will be ok.
Hey guys, this is my cpu on stock, no MCE.
Somebody told me that there should never be that much diff between cores at any time.
Never heard about it. Is that so?
Are you planning on letting your sealant cure for the full 24 hours?
If you look at the average temps they are all within a few degrees of each other. You are always going to get differences in a snapshot of time because at that particular time that core may be doing something a little more to stress it.
What are you using to cool your cpu with again? Hyper 212 Evo right? Those temps seem awfully high to me. Im also running stock on my 212 Evo and I am getting 29c-42c running the same 3 programs. you might wanna try adding some more thermal paste or remounting your heatsink or something. You should not be hitting 60c-70c on any cores idling with a few monitor programs running.Hey guys, this is my cpu on stock, no MCE.

Haven't really found a straight answer about MCE. Has anyone used non K Coffee Lake with MCE enabled/On with stability? If so, what motherboard are you using and what temps, voltages, benches are you getting?
Yeah, I was hoping it would be like Haswell, but it doesn't look like it...MCE should not work on non-K.
There's AIDA stability stress in the background, that's not idle it's 100% load.What are you using to cool your cpu with again? Hyper 212 Evo right? Those temps seem awfully high to me.

oh ok gotcha.. was a bit worried for you that you got a really bad defunked chip.Makes sense!!There's AIDA stability stress in the background, that's not idle it's 100% load.
I don't want to be a wet blanket, but have you run a benchmark to be sure its not throttling ? 42c full load sounds way too cool with a 212 EVO@100% load. I can't even get that with a stock 6700k and a 212 EVOI must have won the Silicon lottery of something cause I have my cpu fully pegged at 100% load encoding movies right now and the temp is staying below 42c for the last 2 hours or so.Heck I bet I could lower temps even more setting my 8700k TDP to 65w. I thought maybe hwmonitor was faulty but my heatsink pipes and fins and heatsink base are all like ice cold to the touch.So far I am extremely happy with my purchase.Thank you guys for pushing me on waiting and helping me to be patient to buy my RIG piece by piece so I was able to build my baby. It really is everything I was hoping for and more. First time I have every had a top of the line motherboard like this too. Its very hypnotizing watching the light show it puts on for me from the built in RGB's. I hope the rest of you guys luck out and get good chips to!!
