CPU cooler group test review with 3770K
Posted by: on: 01/21/2013 10:18 AM [

In this review we test over a dozen CPU coolers, mainly heatpipe based. We'll test them on a Core i7 3770K, one of the more difficult to cool processors on the market. In this group test we'll use Scythe, Noctua, Coolink, Deepcool, Alpenfohn, Gelid and Cooler Master coolers. We'll test the more standard coolers, two low profile ones for HTPCs and some heavy duty heatpipe coolers targeted at the overclockers.

I still don't get what I'm doing wrong with my system. I currently have a CPU370 with 4 120's directly to it as my GTX690 is down and even after delidding I can't seem to get my temps under 70c full load @ 4.5Ghz. I also can't seem to run it under 1.3v stable at that speed either yet I see pretty much everyone else able to do that.
Feel like I got shafted =(
me too
i can't get 4.6ghz fully stable below 1.295v-1.30v
mine is not delidded but even using a custom water cooler with 4 cooler rad and 1500 pump in a simple loop i cant get temps below 90c-95c under prime95 at max cpu torture
even considering my ambient temp over 30°₢ (very hot summer here) and 2 gtx 580 blowing hot air

Oh! another candidate for the delid test?
Sounds like it would greatly benefit you but with the 3770k is a huge risk, i was prepared to go weeks without computer before i done my 3570k.
There's a couple of great delid threads here:

I was at the same temps he was at, like 90c until I delidded it now I'm down to like 77-82c. But then I see people that hit like 60c and I'm like what the hell is going on.

Try the spread method if you didn't already, on both the die and inbetween cooler @ IHS(light spread on die and over outside of IHS), i recommend the diamond based but it's thick and horrid to spread.
