Are theys cpu and gpu Temps ok?

[zebedi]

Hi i was wondering if theys temps may be a little high, notice that in the physics test the cpu goes right up to 63 degrees.
also is it strange that the cpu runs hotter than the gpu?
Thanks

If I I'm to believe what I heard, Physics test usually stresses your CPU. SO you see those higher numbers for CPU there. Here GPU is not much stressed. That's why. And,about the 63C...It's not something to be worried about for a Haswell. Haswells can hit upto 100C without throttling. So don't worry. But I assume this temperature is a little bit high for a Haswell. Is it overclocked? Or are you running on stock cooler? If you're on stock,I'd suggest getting an aftermarket cooler like the Hyper 212 EVO or the Hyper TX3 EVO at the least. You'll be fine with that. No worries..

 

[zebedi]

Its running stock no overclocking at all.
i do have custom cooling already so something must be setup wrong. what sort of temps should i be seeing as i plan to overclock once the cooling is working?

 

[dannylivesforher]

Well, I'm not saying this temperature is dangerous. It's fine. I have the non-K version,and I use the Hyper TX3 EVO cooler. My temperature during gaming never gets beyond 47C. Though I'm yet to stress it for some serious temperature tests. Anyway,I expect its temperatures to be in between 50-55C,or 60 max. But in your case,as you are planning to overclock, you definitely need an aftermarket cooler like the Hyper 212 EVO. It's good one for overclocking. And your temperature should be below 60,depending on how much you overclock. In between,which's your current cooler?

 

[zebedi]

Thanks Danny, it usually runs about 47 degrees during a gaming session but like a say thats with no overclocking.
my current cooling is:
Ek Supremecy cpu block.
EK-D5 Vario X-RES 100 & Pump
2x 240mm ocool copper rads
And the graphics card has a EK (copper/plexi) waterblock fitted.
4x120mm Nanoxia evo fans and 3x 80mm nanoxia evo exhaust fans.

I feel Something isnt right?

 

[dannylivesforher]

Liquid cooling! OMG! I feel like something's wrong too. Are you sure the cooler is properly installed? And what software do you use for monitoring the temp? There are buggy softies out there you know. Another thing I'd suggest to get a better idea of the temperatures is, download AID64 and run the CPU stress test for a few hours with the FPU stress alone enabled. It will give you a better understanding of the temperature.

 

[zebedi]

im just using the EK-Ekoolant UV Lime GREEN premix 1000mL includes additives against algae and corrosion, and the standard Ek paste that came with the waterblock.

 

[zebedi]

ive been monitoring the temps with the Gigabyte easytune software that came with the board. also a program called core temp, and the 3d mark benchmark as shown, they all show pretty much the same temps.
i wonder if my loop is set up wrong.
il check out that aid64 aswell.
if you dont mind i can upload a pic to see if you can see any problems with the loop for me?

 

[zebedi]

It runs from: Pump -> GPU -> Top rad -> CPU -> Bottom rad -> Res

 

[dannylivesforher]

Actually,they say loop's got noting to do with it..

Though,you could make sure you've done it right. Just look at it. I'm not much experienced with water coolers though. In between, make sure your case has good airflow. Heard it's important.

 

[dannylivesforher]

Well,looking at the picture, I guess it's fine.

 

[zebedi]

Thanks again mate, perhaps thats the problem then, as its pretty crammed in the small matx case, i knew i shouldve bought a full size case ;(

 

[dannylivesforher]

Well,look at this weirdo reults:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Core_i5_4670K_and_i7_4770K_Comparison/9.html
I wonder what the hell is wrong...Is it the CPU temperature they're talking about? Holy shit! Never heard an i5 4670K does that...!!!
If this chart is to be believed,you're very safe with that temperature.
And,yes,the case does matter. You need good airflow to keep things cool. Try and get a mid-tower atleast when you have the budget. Good luck bro.

 

[zebedi]

Wow thats mental, i cant remember what this was running at with the stock cooler, but i dont think it was as high as that.

il see how it goes regarding the case, it would be a shame to change it as i like this little case but performance is more important in the long run.

 

[dannylivesforher]

That's right bro. What matters is performance. But before that,let me tell you of something I found today.My i5 4670 was sentenced to temperature test with AIDA64 CPU stress test,and my result was,48C after 1 hour of the test. Guess it's fine for a temperature. Anyway, you could try that out (AIDA64) before thinking about replacing the case. I'd say that case would be enough if it has enough space for all the components,and decent airflow.

 

[zebedi]

Thanks, thats a good temp what cooling are you using mate?
im downloading AIDA64 now, i will let you know the results in a hour or so

 

[zebedi]

ive ran the test for 1 hour 45.
Here are the results perhaps things arnt so bad?

 

[dannylivesforher]

Not a problem mate. The temperature is extremely fine. Now I can see the difference between my Hyper TX3 EVO and a liquid cooling kit! LOL 😛
Anyway,I heard someone saying on a forum that AIDA64 recommends running it for 12 hours for a temperature test. Though,this would be enough,seeing that your temperature is 41C max. Mine was 48. 😀
And in the first case, I believe the 63C was because it was a Physics test. Don't worry, you're fine with these temperatures.

 

[zebedi]

Yes thanks for the help buddy
Theres not a major difference at all certainly not enough to justify a few hundred quid, but take into account my graphics card is running through the same loop i suspect that has brought the temps on on the cpu aswell?

 

[Lee-m]

since when was 63c too high for a cpu (or a gpu for that matter) ?. Start getting concerned at 80 and over. If your running with the stock fan 60ish temps would be exactly what you should expect to see.

Actually,Physics test is for stressing the CPU and not much on the GPU. So you see CPU being used more and the GPU,less. That's why the CPU has higher temperature while the GPU has lower.
