high temperatures during overclocking with EVO 212 on i5-2500k.
high temperatures during overclocking with EVO 212 on i5-2500k.
To confirm I wasn’t slowing down my new 1070, I tried overclocking the 2500k. At 4.5 GHz it stayed around 40°C, but after short Prime95 tests it reached nearly 100°C. I followed an overclocking guide for the 2500k and succeeded. With an EVO 212 I shouldn’t be seeing such high temperatures, so I’m puzzled about what’s causing this. It’s also important to note the system hasn’t changed much since 2012. I re-applied thermal paste today and it had little effect. The HWMonitor shows a CPU voltage range of 1-1.45 V, even though I set it to 1.35 V manually.
It seems you might want this information rephrased while keeping the same length and structure. Here it is:
You may need to reapply thermal paste, upgrade to the cryorig H7 or H5, though the H7 is currently out of stock. You can find more details at the provided link.
Wow, it seems you might need to reapply thermal paste, switch to a cryorig H7 or H5, though the H7 is currently out of stock.

Upgrading your cooler could also make a difference, but running at 100°C under full load with an EVO 212 is still quite extreme. I just reapplied thermal paste this morning.
Can the second fan be added to the 212evo? Both pushing and pulling should work. It seems the overclock might be too high for the 212 since not all CPU chips are identical.
Can you add the second fan to the 212evo? Both push and pull should work. However, the overclock might be too much for this model since not all CPU chips are the same. Sadly, I don't have another fan right now. I searched online and saw many people with the same setup at 4.5 GHz and temperatures between 60-70°C.
Which P95 version? A few of the latest tests are quite intense. Have you experimented with gaming at those configurations?
If you have certain LLC settings or additional stability options enabled, they might push the voltage beyond a manual level. It seems you might need to lower the voltage instead.
This could be effective, usually a pea-sized quantity works well. Also consider reducing the voltage if stability is achievable—it's always preferable. A voltage rise tends to cause more heat. Perhaps 1.3 or 1.325 would help. Each chip behaves differently, so you might need some adjustments to get it right.
aleichliter, Your Vcore is too high. Maximum recommended Vcore for 32 nanometer processors is 1.35. Voltage drives Power (Watts) which drives temperatures, and Hardware Monitor isn't always accurate. Use Core Temp to monitor your Vcore and Watts, and of course your Core temperatures. Also, do NOT run any versions of Prime95 later than 26.6. Here's why: Core i 2nd through 6th Generation CPU's have AVX (Advanced Vector Extension) instruction sets. Recent versions of Prime95, such as 28.9, run AVX code on the Floating Point Unit (FPU) math coprocessor, which produces unrealistically high temperatures. The FPU test in the utility AIDA64 shows similar results. Since 2nd Generation Sandy Bridge processors have a soldered Integrated Heat Spreader and a significantly larger Die than 3rd through 6th Generation processors, they are somewhat less affected by AVX code. Nevertheless, please download Prime95 version 26.6 - http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot...5-266.html Run only Small FFT’s for 10 minutes. Use Core Temp to measure your temperatures - http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp Your Core temperatures may test 10C lower with v26.6 than with v28.9.

Thanks for reaching out. Here’s how you can manage the situation:
To stop the CPU from adjusting its voltage automatically, you can set it to manual mode directly in the BIOS or motherboard settings.
Since reapplying thermal paste didn’t help, try checking the power supply stability and ensure it’s providing consistent voltage.
If the issue persists, experimenting with your voltage settings might give you more control.
