A bit of history on this... the 6700k is my 2nd one. It had been running it fine at 4.2 1.25v in the past with a Hyper 212, that is, temps not much beyond the 70's. It got moved into a mini-ITX system later with a Silverstone 120mm AIO, where it ran a similar temp, but more loudly. Moved into a micro-ATX case and fitted Noctua D9L. Temps went beyond 80's and went unstable. Fed up with that, I rehoused it into a bigger case, put on my Corsair H110i GTX, and temps are... still stubbornly in the 70's. The Corsair, when previously in my main system with another 6700k, with the same Noctua fans controlled by the AIO, was running more mid-50's.
I will re-do with different thermal compound later just in case, but not sure what is happening here... I just used some free coolermaster stuff they include with the 212. I'll try switching to Noctua stuff once I dig it out but otherwise this doesn't make sense unless the stuff inside the IHS has gone bad.
