I'm getting over heating issues with my i7 2600k OC with this heat sink. Anyone else have this issue?

Assuming we are talking about ambient temperature of 70-80F max in room, and you installed properly. this cooler should keep your CPU (2600k) max 77-80C under load which is not over heating. But too many variables not stated.

I have read the other two answers to your question.I would also suggest looking at getting more fans in your computer case. You need to create good airflow to get hot air out. I have used this Zalman setup combined with Artic Silver one 5 systems now. CPU runs under 90 f under load. I also have at least 5 other fans installed in each case.

Havent had any heating issues. I have mine for almost 2 years. I would try reapplying the thermal grease & ensure the heat sink's base is completely flat. This is assuming its clean & has good air flow.

No, but I recommend you that you have to dismount the CPU Cooler, clean very well the surface of the CPU and CPU Cooler. Buy a good thermal compound like Arctic Silver and install all again. Check very well the brackets supports between motherboard and CPU Cooler.

Hi SenorFrog,Honestly I haven't done that before so I can't make any suggestion.You can visit Thermaltake website or ask their technical support.Thank you.

I did not have this exact problem but there has been a rash of bad circuit boards axcording to the tech. Its unusual yours works intermittent ly versus complete failure. If I had to guess it sounds like you have a cooling problem and theset shuts down to save itself. Try putting a small fan behind it.

I stuck with the stock fans and they've worked for me - quiet, no overheating. That said, I should mention that I'm not overclocking anything in this build and did the best I could to keep wires out of the airflow channels (cable management is still a challenge in this form factor, but if you're doing it for cooling and don't care what things look like once the case is closed, you're fine). I'm running an i5 4670K with stock heat sink/fan, Corsair Vengeance RAM, 2 x 2TB hard drives.

This is the same setup I have running on this board, 8350 with a 280. Under heavy load this cpu gets extremely hot so I would recommend a liquid cpu cooler and a case with excellent airflow. My rig has been running 24/7 without issue. The hottest I've seen my computer get was 134F with an ambient room temp of 87F.

Yes it comes with a stock heat sink. You do not have to buy an aftermarket/cpu cooler/heat sink. It is not likely to have over heating problems. This cpu is locked and can not be over clocked.

Haven't had that issue with this game, but I have had it on older computers. Sounds like either power supply or over heating issue as others have said already.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

Seems to overheat with fx 6300 when staying in bios menu. maybe this is due to some of the standard bios setting. but runs fine once leaving bios menu or running win7.

The stock heatsink and fan have never let me down, and I've been using AMD's for ages and ages. Granted, I don't bother overclocking my system. They are throttled based on temp. You can always change the fan if your setup runs so hot the fan can't keep up.

The things I not that might be problematic are first the size of the card. It's fairly big and long. I don't have a good view of the chipset heat sink but if it's too tall, it may hit the videocard. The next note is. The stock psu is only 300 watts. I would upgrade to at least a 500. Hope that helps

A non liquid or gel cooled CPU cooler can only cool the CPU to as cool as the room its in. And maybe a few degrees cooler. How hot is your house? And btw... 70-80 under load itsnt that bad assuming your house is around 70-75. Start worrying when you hit 90 at Max load. If you cool the room its in and continue to have issues or unsatisfactory temps then get your motherboard tested. (I've had this issue and once it was the MB reporting faulse temps. Also... try a different program for monitoring your temps while under load. And only run one at a time.)

The pre applied thermal paste is low quality. Your fan will scream at very high rpm because of using it. Clean it off, get some high quality thermal paste, your temps will be much lower. See my review on this product.

Not me, I run mine almost non-stop. Never had any over heating issues with it.

I'm running a i5 4670K (I'm not overclocking it) and a GTX 760 and all I have is a EVO 212... I have no problems with temps with only the CPU cooler and the stock fans.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot.2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage?3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

I had a constant problem with this computer overheating, even tried a HUGE cooler on the cpu, didn't help much. I have this cooler on two of my computers and I've had no problem with overheating whatsoever. I play all my games, FPS, Racers, etc., at highest settings and no problems. Wouldn't build a new computer without one.
