Hey all. Just finished building a new PC:
BeQuiet! Dark Base Pro 900
Intel Core i7-7700k
Gigabyte GA-Z270X-Gaming K7
Deepcool Captain 240EX cooler
32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 3200
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FE
500GB Samsung 960 Evo M.2
BeQuiet! Dark Power Pro 750w PSU
I'm very worried about the core temp spikes and idle temps of the 7700k, but from what I'm hearing my temps are normal (34C idle on cold boot, non-OC, 44C while gaming). I imagine if my cooler wasn't performing adequately I'd be seeing higher temps, so I'm ruling that out. My ambient room temp was around 25C (77-78F) when taking these readings. If you all think these base temps seem fine, I'd like to proceed to some stress testing before my RMA time is up with Newegg (I have about two weeks left). Which programs and methods/process will be the safest way to stress the CPU to see if I should RMA or not? I don't want it to hit max or possibly cause any damage to it if I don't have to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
