7700k temperature high

[culzone]

How come I get same temperature while gaming as in prime95?
cryorig C7 cooler I know it's bad but gaming temps should not be same as stress test?

The thermal compound application on the 7700k is subpar at best. De-lidding and re-applying can make a huge difference.

The CPU also exhibits very high spiking, so your max values will appear to be high, though they aren't sustained for long. Even with water cooling I was getting the occasional low 90s, but the CPU seemed to actually run closer to the low 80s most of the time.

After de-lidding the highest spike I have seen is 78C, but more commonly in the low 70s.

What you should be looking at first though is the CPU core voltage. The defaults will probably take it fairly high. I believe mine booted at 1.35 which is quite high for the stock settings most of the time. 1.4 being the safe max with good cooling.

funny thing is I run 4.2ghz at 1.12v and im getting 70C gaming and in prime95 which seems high while gaming? it's delidded already

70C is a pretty reasonable temperature for a C7, it is only a 100W rated cooler after all. Well within the CPUs tolerances.
