HELP!!!! High temperature i7-4790k with GT H110i!!!

[NHsie3]

Hi everyone!!

I need some help here. My computer is having the temperature of 35-39C for idle. To be honest, since I am using a good water cooler, I was expecting that the temperature of my CPU to be around <25C (room temperature). </span> When I try to change my clockspeed to 4.5GHz, the cpu starting to throttling and I am not sure what was the cause of this. It would be great if u guys could tell/suggest me the best solution for solving this thing. If u guys need more information, I would be delighted to provide but u might have to explain it in detailed because I'm just an amateur in computers

My Computer Specs

CPU: i7-4790k

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII ranger

GPU: GTX 980

CPU cooler: GT H110i water cooling

RAM: 16GB 1600mhz

Power supply: Centauro XTK-CB-1000M 80plus bronze 1000w

Case: Corsair Graphite Series 960t

What I tried before:

• Checked the thermal paste was installed correctly
• All the components are installed correctly
• Updated the newest BIOs
• Changed the settings according to this but I want to have the clock speed around 4.5-4.6GHz

My goals:

Ideal CPU idle temperature: <25C</span>

Ideal clock speed: 4.5-4.6 GHz

Ideal stress test temperature: <75C</span>

Hi NobleHsieh,

The base frequency of the i7-4790K is 4.0GHz and with Turbo Boost is 4.4GHz. The maximum speed will be reached by only one of the Cores, the rest will run slower. If you over clock all the Cores; processor temperature is going to be hooter than usual. The chart below shows the maximum speed per Cores using default settings.http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005523.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/processors/000005523.html Best regards,Miguel
