85 degrees for i7 8700k?

[medhadeep85]

i7 8700k hitting 85 degrees for adobe media encoder. overclocked with Intel Extreme Tuning Utility at 4.3GHz. Using Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 120 for cooling. Is it normal? At idle, temp is around 35 degs.

For such a small cooler, on a big cpu, under heavy usage on many cores with a locked core OC, absolutely Yep.

For those conditions, a minimum of a 240mm AIO, or medium-large aircooler such as the Cryorig H5 or Noctua NH-D14 would be advisable minimum size. Preferably a 280mm/high grade 240mm or big twin aircooler such as the NH-D15/S or Darkrock Pro 3.

You can't over-cool a cpu, but under-cooling is pathetically easy to accomplish.

A 120 AIO is really kinda insufficient for that CPU. You either need to get a dual tower air cooler like the Noctua NHD15 or Cryorig H7/R1; or get a 240MM AIO like the MasterLiquid Lite 240 or Corsair H100, 105 or 115.

With only a 120mm aio I'm surprised it doesn't run hotter.

 

[medhadeep85]

Okay. So in that case,
a - is it ok to reach that temperature?
b - i have the coolermaster master box lite 5. Can install a 240mm cooler in it?

 

[Karadjgne]

A) yes, it's OK to reach that temp. Temporarily. It's not something you'll want to on a regular basis as high cpu temps degrade the cpu at a highly accelerated rate. Normally a cpu will last 20+ years easily, becoming seriously obsolete by software standards long before its physical death. With enough degradation, it's like alcohol. 1 drink every now and then doesn't hurt, constant drinking.. Different story.
B) the Masterbox lite 5 will front mount a 120/240/280/360mm (limited) radiator upto 50mm thickness without the fans.

You should be no where near that temperature at 4.3ghz even if you got one of the weaker chips. The chip should be happily running at a maximum of 50-60C with 4.7ghz. If not have you an appropriate cpu fan? Did you put too much thermal paste on?

Not more than the size of a rice grain!
