Are these I7-4790k temperatures normal?

[Dragalos]

When I play games it usually is around 60°C but sometimes it spikes up to 70-78°C. I dont know if these temps are normal or not. Reapplied thermal paste around 6 times already.
When I run the CPU test of TimeSpy my CPU reaches around 80°C and in AIDA64 it goes up to 77°C after around 30 seconds.
Voltage under load is 1.299V.

My CPU cooler is Cooler Master Hyper 412S and the case is Cooler Master HAF912 Advanced Midi-Tower.
Motherboard: MSI Z97-G43
RAM:16GB Kingston HyperX Savage
Power Supply: XFX TS Series 750W
Btw I havent overclocked the CPU.
If you need any more info to help me just ask.

Thank you in advance.

I went into the BIOS and tried to change the voltage but it doesnt let me. Do you know why that could be?

My guess is that with a lower-tier board like the Z97-G43, it doesn't have a manual override Vcore option. Chances are, it has an offset mode instead, where you have to pick [+] or [-], and the amount to offset. Seeing your stock auto vcore of 1.3, I'd start with an offset of -0.100 and then work in the same increments of 0.05, so -0.105, then -0.110, etc.

If you still can't change voltages, make sure you're viewing the OC tab in advanced mode, and clear CMOS if all else fails.

Oh, and turn off XMP for now. XMP can do wonky things like overriding manual inputs in BIOS.

Isn't XMP just for RAM?
Oh and i think i found out how to change the values. I have to type them on my keyboard^^(atleast thats what they said in another forum)

I can select override mode, adaptive, offset, adaptive+offset and override + offset

What value should i put in?
If i put in override and 1.2V is this while idle? because next to it says 1.112V and im assuming that is the idle voltage so when i put in 1.2 is that the max it can reach or is it the min?

I set the voltage to override mode and put in 1.2V.
Before after 10 seconds of aida64 my cpu hat 71-72°C
Now after changing the voltage after 10 seconds in aida64 it has 64°C

Should i change VCCIN aswell because that is at around 1.8V.
Edit: Under load VCCIN goes to 1.9V.
And after 3min of AIDA 64 the temp went to 70°C peak
and now 10 minutes into the test always around 68°C with a short jump to 71°C(when i was opening another program)

Im happy with these temperatures and thanks to all of you for helping.

Glad to hear it's working! 😀

If your VCCIN is around 1.8-1.9V, it's operating as normal. Leave it on auto. The only reason to ever change VCCIN values manually is if you're phase change or LN2 overclocking, where VCore far exceeds normalcy, e.g. my 5.2ghz FX8320 on freon at 1.66V (rest in peace you f****** piece of sh*t) with every second core per piledriver module disabled. My VRIN (the other name for VCCIN) values were a hair above 2.1V. Well, until it lit itself on fire.

VCCIN is the total input voltage to the CPU, which the controller within the CPU redistributes to the Vcore, memory controller, and other sensitive things that need voltage. In essence, it's the voltage the CPU is asking for in total from that 4 or 8 pin CPU power cable on the upper left corner of your motherboard. Values should ballpark somewhere within VCore value + 0.5V. With XMP profiles enabled, slightly higher VCCIN is totally normal.

With all that said, just leave it on auto.

Temps sound super solid to me. I'm still fighting my own MacGyver'd DIY water loop, my hottest core peaks around 86C after 30 minutes, usually hovering in the high 70's. It's super ugly, poorly planned, poorly routed, and made with 10/16mm beer brewing silicone hose, a Swiftech MCRES rev2, a mug of reverse osmosis water from the tap, a pack of el cheapo zip ties, and the recycled pump/block and rad off a first gen H100i, but it's better than thermal throttling while gaming when it's 91F or roughly 33C outside. Now I want to go get a proper CPU block and a proper pump because the H100i's maximum flow rate of 0.4L per hour is pathetic. I mean really, a total maximum theoretical head pressure of 12 inches.

Anecdotes aside, if you've got a reasonably fresh application of thermal paste, your temps will probably drop by another degree or two when the paste sets in over time.
