Hi All,
Just built my new gaming system (replacing my i7-860) with the following specs:
CPU - i7-6700K
CPU Cooler - Hyper 212 EVO
MB - Gigabyte Gaming G1 Z170
Mem - G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000)
PS - Corsair 750W
Case - Nine Hundred
HD#1 - Samsung SSD 1TB 850 evo
HD#2 - Intel SSD 530 512GB
Graphic - Gigabyte HD 7950 Windforce (re-used)
Display - 3x Asus VE248Q (maybe I should have gone with 28")
KB - Corsair K90
Mouse - Logitech Proteus Core
OS - Windows 10 Pro
Mostly gaming: FO4, D3, SC2, NFS
Now, I might have a small problem (which I did not have with my previous rig). The CPU fan seems to go up and down quite often, just by simply opening IE. It will spin up for 2-3 seconds and go back down. I was thinking that maybe there was not enough paste between the CPU and the cooler. So I redid it, and nothing changed. I monitored the CPU temperature, and it does seem to gu up fast (80-90) and coming down fast (36). Which I don't understand why.
To me, it is pointing to a cooling problem, but everything looks good.
Any ideas what I should be looking for?
Thanks for all the help.
