Hello everyone. I have posted about my rollercoaster trip with this Motherboard and my previous issues with temperatures last year. This was mostly due to using a Stock Intel cooler after having built the Computer (Bought it my self, my mistake *Copper)
However ever since I have being using a Cryorig M9i just for Stock settings no Overclocking and have read several reviews online (3 or 4) showing benchmarks using the Cryorig M9i and its ideal for normal use but not really Over clocking and I am not going to Overclock. So please don't ask me to buy a new cooler, I can't right now.
Problem is I have to constantly undervolt my Vcore Voltage in BIOS to the lowest negative offset possible in order for my temperatures not to Go extremely high while Gaming or even Stress test like Real Bench and PRIME95 26.6
So here is the thing, I am blind and lost about this but I know many of you are using and have used i7 6700K and are familiar with it so I want to see what you guys think. Yes I know that Cooler is pretty weak and should probably get something better but its perfect for Daily gaming and No overclocking. My temperatures while playing Madden 2019 and having my Vcore to a negative offset of -0.80 makes my Temperatures reach in 40 minutes around 75c.(MAX)
I keep having constant BSOD too, almost 4 today just this morning.
I would love to have a NORMAL Operating Machine, where I can just put everything in it together which I can do easily and have it running with no issues all day long.
WARNING Very stupid: With the Stock Intel Cooler at the time almost 2 years ago I reached the Max of 100c and ran it like that for a full year (while gaming constantly) It was my first time building a Computer also from what I learned in class at the College, I can build it under 40 minutes now no issues but back then I did the mistake of not pushing in the Pins on the Stock cooler all the way in so it wasn't Cooling the CPU properly causing me to reach 100c. I never thought the entire year (2016) to Monitor temperatures until I came across it online that its good to do that. So using HWMonitor I noticed I was reaching 100c. I checked, until finally I realized ONE single pin on the CPU Cooler wasn't pushed all the way in. That was in 2016 Early 2017.
In 2017 I RMA'd my Motherboard and got a replacement. I have kept the same CPU since. I have upwards of 900 hours on Rainbow Six Siege in 2 years, I play almost every day and do use it every day, it runs fine overall, not slow except that NOW Its still reaching Too high Load Temperatures and have being getting lots of BSOD Recently. I looked Event Viewer Logs and found out the BSOD was related to Voltage, so I undervolted from -0.85 to a More stable -0.60 which in fact did allow me to Play madden without getting the BSOD and run PRIME95 for 30 minutes and Real Bench for 30 minutes with no issues. yes I know I should run for longer.
ALL This craziness being said. I want a good NORMAL Working Computer. Is this the CPU or the MoBo? (MoBo is a replacement already) That's why I want to hear from other i7 6700k Users and see your opinions, please.
Do you guys think I should RMA THE CPU? Or Sell this Motherboard and buy a new one?
Idle 33-35
Load: Only Tested on Madden 19 after the Undervolt @75c after 40 minutes.
What could be causing this Overheating issue? the CPU from running @100c for 1 year or something with the Motherboard again?
