So I've been playing around with my good old trusty i7 2600K and have no idea why my CPU runs hotter than nearly all the data I've seen online. At 4.3 GHZ my voltage under load is 1.288 according to CPUz, yet my temps hover in the high 70's/lower 80's in Intel Burn Test and in Prime under the maximum heat test.. Up to 85c...
Once I up the voltage to the 1.325 range (using offset mode and llc) to get to 4.5GHZ, those numbers become prohibitive, getting in the mid 90's and close to the max temp of 98c before the CPU throttles down. I've seen people push their voltage to nearly 1.4 on air with lower temps.
So my question basically is related to voltage. All things being equal, do different chips generate more heat at the exact same voltage? I'm on a Hyper 212+ and have reapplied Artic Silver, purchased a different fan and the results have been the same.
What other variables could cause such high temepratures? I'm forced to run at 4.3 when I know the CPU can handle 4.5 at a decent voltage but I'm really worried about the temps.
