Hey guys,
I recently built a workstation/gaming PC and have the following:
MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC LGA 1151
Node 202
i7-7700K
NH-L9i
2x 16GB DDR4 3200 Ripjaws
Corsair SF600
MSI GTX 1080ti
960 Pro 1TB
Now I know this cooler is a bit undersized for an i7-7700K, but from researching before ordering many people reported they'd only get into the mid 80's rending, 70's gaming, and low 40's idle. What I am seeing is:
47C idle
49C browsing internet
78C gaming
99-100C rendering!?
In addition to this the "rise time" of the temperature is very sharp, within 1-2 seconds it'll jump +30C with a heavy load. I have never seen this before on any system.
I thought maybe the cooler was interfering with one of the heat spreaders on the mobo, I inspected and all seems good. I also re-applied a quality brand thermal paste and saw zero difference.
I am now considering de-lidding or underclocking the CPU. Any other recommendations?
