CPU Package Too high?

[Goatsesss]

I ran an Aida64 CPU stress test with FPU and CPU.
The CPU package reached 106 something can somebody explain to me if this is dangerous?

Yes 106C is above maximum temp for any CPU (that I know of).

When asking for help on the forum you should always include your full system hardware specs. (CPU, CPU cooler, etc.)

Something is defitely wrong with your CPU cooler. Check to ensure it is properly installed and not come loose.

Have you performaned CPU overclocking on this system?

Specs are:

CPU: i7 4790k
Cooler: NZXT x62
MB: z97-P

Sounds like either your cooler isn't properly connected, seated, or the pump has quit working.

The CPU is only maxed 80 degrees

Hey just took a look in HWinfo and that said that max was 76 but Aida said 107. What should I trust?

Goatsesss,

76°C is fine.

AIDA64 might be reading the voltage regulators (VRM's) and incorrectly labeling them as "package" temperature. I would trust HWInfo, which is an excellent utility and is highly detailed.

4th Generation processors have a "Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator" (FIVR) on the package, however, package temperature in most monitoring utilities is typically the hottest core. Regardless, that particular sensor may be glitchy.

Core temperatures are the most critical measurement of processor temperature. Click on my signature and check out our Guide.

What is the max you recommend?

 

[CompuTronix]

Here's the operating range for Core temperature:

Core temperatures above 85°C are not recommended.

Core temperatures below 80°C are preferred.

Core temperatures increase and decrease with Ambient temperature.

Thanks!
