Hello,
I have replaced my i5-4670K with i7-4790K to extend life of my rig and I am experiencing quite high temps during stress. I have run Prime95 26.6 for 15 minutes and my maximum thermal readings on Real Temp were around 80 C (see screenshot), ambient temp 22 C, good airflow in case. When I run OCCT (Large data set) it jumps sometimes to 90 C. I know regarding the Sticky topic about Intel CPUs that Prime represents 100% workload and OCCT 120% workload.
I don't OC, set to stock frequencies wit turboboost enabled. I have set vcore voltage manually 1.175 V (stable), when on Auto in BIOS, my MB set voltage over 1.4 V (nonsense).
I use non-stock cooler SilentiumPC Spartan 3 PRO HE1024 (not a champion, but better than stock), I have applied thermal compound smoothly over the CPU (not a big difference when I apply rice in the middle of CPU).
I don't know if I should RMA CPU (it is new one).
My specs are:
CPU Intel Core i7-4790K | MB GIGABYTE Z87M-D3H (F10 BIOS)| GPU GTX 970 4GB (GIGABYTE N970WF3OC-4GD) | RAM Kingston 16GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX Fury Black Series | SSD Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB + 240 GB | PSU Seasonic SS-500ET-T3 | Case Fractal CORE 1000 | LCD 23.8" Dell P2414H | OS Dual Boot Win 10 x64 + Hackintosh MacOS High Sierra
