Hello All,
So, I built a new computer last week. So far it has been working out pretty well.
i7-7700k @stock
AsRock Extreme4
16BG Corsair RAM (3000)
650W EVGA PSU
Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212
Idle temperatures are below 30C, while CPU intensive games like BF1 get me temperatures in the low 70s (mid 60s with Hyperthreading off)
So this is just with everything at stock. I was wondering if I should tweak some of the settings in the BIOS to help the temperatures a bit. I know the limitations of my air cooling setup, but I don't really want to OC yet as I am happy with the performance.
Here is some data I got from a Prime95 blend test.
This was after 8 minutes. Yeah, the temps are high. I found I can help the temps by turning off HT, but that seems like a waste.
I know a bit about Overclocking (enough to be dangerous) but I usually follow specific guides. How should I go about lowering the voltage and will that improve my temps?
Any help/insight would be appreciated!
