I didn’t want to sound overly condescending, but you handled the thermal paste correctly. Just place a tiny grain of uncooked rice in the center and avoid spreading it. The main point here is how often mistakes like this happen because of poor paste application.
Wat? Ik heb nooit 70°C bereikt bij mijn 4670K, maar nu bij 4.6 met mijn GTX100i blijf ik bij 60°C onder volledige belasting.
Just confirming but I don’t really understand why yours would run hotter in GTAV versus a stress test. Could be the GPU overheating, blowing air into the case and then warming up the CPU? Not sure—maybe some visuals would clarify. Edit: I noticed you’re using an H110 GPU. Either way, it might be similar to that issue.
It worked well with a stock Dell cooler for several months without issues, and the 4790K seems similar in performance.
The heater on your FX 6300 isn't heating up enough in GTA V, while AMD models typically come with superior cooling solutions.
Check if your voltage is using the default (Auto) mode in BIOS. Adjust it to the lowest safe level you can reach manually for better stability, as this might help lower temperatures. The Auto option often allows more power, which can affect performance.
