Also, to people using Corsair Hydro coolers: It has been known that the backplate for some H series and some motherboards leaves a little too much slack for 100% good contact. To solve this, simply putting some washers on the backplate screws between the board and the plate itself
Hello Sponge,
Forgive my ignorance but what washers did you use? I too have had issues with my 4790k and have since rma'd in hopes of getting a better one and want to do everything I can to make this thing work as it should. I am using a Corsair H110 and was getting temps up to 93C on Prime95 Blend and 87C on IBT all on stock settings on an Asrock Z97 Exteme6. Just for reference, using the same cooler, I was getting temps no higher than 79C on a 2600K clocked @ 4.5Ghz and 1.3V Thanks in advance and I hope we all get some results from Intel on this.
