Cooler Master Hyper 212+ cpu cooler
Hi all,
I am having some cooling problems with my new rig and need a hand diagnosing the problem. After the Hyper 212+ HSF was installed on the cpu it puts temperatures into the 90s (C) while running prime95 at stock speeds. It easily hits its T.J. Max of 100C with any overclock at all. I have reseated the hsf several times, and tested the stock cooler. While using the stock cooler at stock speeds the idle temp is about 45C and almost 85C load (prime95). Originally I had thought the HSF was defective but I got a friends computer to test it on, and it give great temperatures even when overclocked. However, this was on an AMD Phenom II 965 @ 3.7Ghz. It gave idle of 38C and load of 55C.
Has anyone heard about problems with some i7s overheating or could that hsf not be working with my setup? Any other suggestions?
