Dear Community
I started overclocking my CPU only with the mainboard (Asus p8z68-v pro gen3) and ended up with crazy high temperatures. I assume that my idle temps are already too high even tho all vents work just fine, I just applied new heat transfer paste and the case is positioned right next to the window and thus the airflow is not blocked by anything.
My setup for the test is the following:
Intel Core i7-2700K (base clock 3.5 GHz)
Corsair H70 watercooling for CPU
In the following picture you see the temperatures after a cinebench benchmark testrun (stock clock):
(see Stock.png)
Then I used the already pretuned profil for OC that the mainboard provides and after the same testrun the temperatures look like this (4 GHz overclocked):
(see OC.png)
Anyone has an idea what could be the issue?
