CPU Temperatures normal for i5 4670k??

I keep my CPU under 60C for anything and everything...higher than that is HOT!

You do understand that AMD Cpu's are cooler than intel Cpu's right? Intel Processors can withstand much higher temps than AMD chemps and even at idle will be hotter.

Intel CPU´s or much cooler than AMD CPU´s. my AMD fx 8320 runned at 90 degC and on a stock cooler and 80 on a aftermarket

That's not physically possible unless you disabled all the C-States in the BIOS and overclocked with a crappy aftermarket cooler.

Your core temp would shut down your PC at 62C. See the several threads discussing "Why does my PC shutdown @ 62C?". Even the stock cooler runs much cooler than 62C because AMD designed that architecture to run cooler than that.

well, it doesn´t it goes over 62 all the time and i didn´t overclocked, i used my warranty and got a new one, but no improvement

What MB do you have? If you're using a 95W TDP MB with a 125W chip, then your temps will be out of line.

Aha! Ran into this same issue, another person had that motherboard and had the same problem. They went and bought a 990FX MB and the issue went away. That board is not designed for the 125W TDP CPUs.

OK, but the discription said it supports CPU´s of 140 W, but i got my money back and getting another one.
do you know if the ASUS B85M-G works well with a i5 4670k and a HD 7870 XT?

Sure, if you don't overclock it will support them, also, the VRMs on that board are not stout enough for something like the 8350.

The B series motherboards don't support overclocking...if you intend to overclock you need a Z77 and 3570k. The only reason to go to 4670k is if you will never overclock.

Also, I don't see a reason to swap out your 8350. If you got a decent motherboard it would be fine. The Intel boards you'll need are much more expensive than the ones that work for that 8350 anyway.

EDIT: You realize the 4670k is $70 more expensive by itself right? Before you buy the more expensive motherboard you need to pair with it. If you're on a budget, it's much wiser to go AMD.

i let a company bould my computer and because of the temperature´s and stuff they now offering that configaration and they are paying the 70 euro´s extra, but if i won´t overclock, the mobo and cpu will work fine?

So... I stopped reading half way through the thread when I saw all the amd vs intel stuff.
Il just say my experience. I also finished my build with MSI g45 z87 and 4670k. Command center (msi) and coretemp are showing 29-31c IDLE while in bios, it says the CPU temp is about 45-48c. Haven't ben stressing out my pc because of a bad PSU so I can't tell you the temps under load. Also, the CPU uses CM tx3 evo cooler with 1 92mm fan on it. Case has 1 x 140 in, 1 x 140 out and 1 x 120 out.

the bios shows only the socket temperature, coretemp the cores. that´s always about 10-15 degC lower than the bios says

Sure, but I would have them build a better 8350 rig...have them put in a 970 series motherboard like a M5A97 R2.0...if you want to go Intel, I am not telling you that you'll be disappointed, it will work just fine. However, I would say give the AMD rig a chance.

I have an overclocked i5 4670k running at 4.2Ghz. I also have the Cooler Master hyper 212 evo cooler with a second 120mm fan attached to it in a push/pull configuration. I ran a stress test that didn't push the temps above 70C. During gaming loads after 2 hours it was in the 50s consistently. I hope this gives you some comparison.

Before I overclocked it stayed in the 30s idle and maybe low 40s under load.

In your personal experience, with a delidded CPU and high end cooling...right?

 

[Sprigg]

According the intel the max temp for that processor is 72.72C http://ark.intel.com/products/75048/Intel-Core-i5-4670K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz?q=4670k

Delidded it doesn't get warm at 1.45v. On air with stock Tim 4.6 and 1.3v is when it would start hitting 88C benching

Sprig 72C is Tcase not tjmax

 

[Sprigg]

Ohhh but no one knows the tjmax temp for desktop processors only notebook temps are released so its just a guessing game. I normally go by Tcase temp but I'm not as smart as these guys.

 

[randomizer]

Ohhh but no one knows the tjmax temp for desktop processors only notebook temps are released so its just a guessing game.

We do know Target Tjunction, which is not technically the same as Tjunction max, but likely to be close enough not to matter. Back in the Core 2 days this was much more of point of debate (Intel released a few documents on the subject, although none were particularly useful, and some were wrong), but since Nehalem you can safely assume that most decent software will just read the Target Tjunction from the CPU and calculate the temperature based on that. If you are really pedantic and want to adjust for slope error and what have you, Real Temp will give you the flexibility to do that.

If you want to use Tcase, which is the official way to monitor temperatures (which doesn't mean it's the best), then just about any software will do. Even the cheesy stuff that comes with many motherboards will suffice.

Cool, I learned something today. Thanks randomizer. I use Real temp GT to measure my temps and the TJ max always confused me until now.

OP, I also have a 4670k cooled by a CM 212 and my temps max out at around 63c under Intel Burn Test maximum settings. Under Prime95 it is a degree or two cooler. My case is a HAF 932 though, which has better than average air flow.

Your temps are high - I have a few more questions. Are you running at stock 3.4 MHz, or is the turbo boost pushing you to 3.8 MHz? You can disable the turbo in your BIOS to lower your temps a bit if you don't need the OC.

Is the 212 oriented correctly? It should generally be pulling air from the front of the case and exhausting it out the back. If it is pulling air from below and exhausting out the top, you may be pulling the hot air rising from your GPU which is not good.

What case are you using? Some just have crappy air flow - google your case model to see if this could be the culprit.

How is your cable management? If you have a mess of cables blocking air flow it could easily jack your temps up. Run cables behind your backplate where possible, or zip tie them out of the way if not.

I used a thin vertical line of thermal compound rather than a dot (based on the position of the cores) but the best way to apply thermal compound is a subject of much debate and I seriously doubt that the dot method is causing your overheating issue. It is possible that you used too much or that you allowed some air bubbles to form. Check the other items I mentioned first, but if you still can't find a good reason for your temp problem you should probably try reapplying the thermal compound.

Hope this helps.

 

[Termite04]

My 212 EVO fans flow from front to back right out rear exhaust fan.
I always applied thermal paste by drawing a thin line across the processor and using a credit card to evenly distribute. However, the 212 EVO is almost impossible to install without it turning on the processor some.
My temps have dropped for some reason (I guess temps in my house are lower?). I now play games with temps in the 40's. V - 1.25V and 4.2GHz.

 

[Rob ZoCks]

Hey guys, Just recently built my first computer. I used the hyper 212+ as my heatsink instead of the stock CPU fan. To reiterate, My CPU is the 4th gen intel i5 4670k processor.

At idle, temperatures are generally around 37-41 degrees, Under Load (Playing Crysis 3 on ultra and Battlefield 3 on Ultra) Max temp hit 74 degrees. Generally in the area of 70 degrees.

Are these temps good? bad? average for my heatsink?

Can you tell (with e.g. CPU Z) whats the VCore (voltage) while on load? Maybe its the mainboard giving it too much Voltage.. should not be above 1.2v when running stock speed.

 

[Bgmz9000]

It is turbo boosting to 3.8 ghz, ill keep the turbo since my temps aren't anywhere near dangerous. Yes it is oriented correctly. pulling through front and out the back of the case. case has great airflow. I havean intake in the front, the bottom and the side, and an outtake at the back and two on the top. Airflow is great and cable management is superb. My temps are 35 degrees idle (This is not the BIOS temp, this is CoreTemp info), and roughly around 60 while under load. Occasionally when playing crisis It pushes it up to 70. All this seems reasonable from what I hear? the only thing I can think of Is that my desktop sits in a desk. Like an opening in the desk about 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall th ats closed at the back and only open in the front. Like a little cutout for a computer and the air inside that opening does get pretty hot. which is maybe why my temps are a bit higher than normal. But nevertheless I think everything is pretty normal temps?

 

[fountainpen]

i got it, its around 30 on idle and around 45-55 on full load, use a hyper 412s
