Did I win the silicone lottery?

[Jack_paric]

i know tons of people already wrote same thread, but I looked at one and it was a bit different, so:
I just built my new rig
Everything brand new:
asus maximus ix hero
corsair rm650x
i7-7700k
asus strix a8g 1080advanced edition
inwin 805 infinity
samsug evo 850 250 gb ssd
corsair h110i w/corsair hd140
gskill trident z rgb 3200mhz 16 gb 2x8 gb dual channel
3* corsair hd120 case fans

I used the basic asus overclocking feature in my mobo's bios, and turns out I pushed my cpu to 4,9ghz ( thats what spu-z said...), and I am running cpu burner (furmark addon or what ) for loong time and my cpu reaches max 60-65 degrees celsius (corsair link says 100% cpu usage). On the site where I bought the cpu from lots of people said that theirs reaches 90+ whe overclocked and stress tested to 100%, but mine reaches only 65.
lol i dunno why I did ask this question but any tips and I would be happy.

That is pretty good temps. I run mine at 5ghz and it averages in the high 70's under load.

 

[Kasper Jorgensen]

You will need to stress test with Prime95 as that will put more load on CPU than cpu burner.
65 C seems very unrealistic for a full stress test with the 7700K @4,9 GHz that has not been delidded.

I stress with Prime 95 v26.6 and Intel Burn Test at the same time. This ensures stability under max load and gives you worst case temps. My 6700K at 1.35v will break 70C on the 2 hottest cores with the others remaining in the upper 60s. Phanteks PH-TC14PE. There's no way your 7700K at 4.9Ghz runs cooler. You need to use the right tools.

Edit: That Asus overclocking tool is also likely setting the voltage higher than necessary.

No, you didn't. You won the silicon lottery.

If you won the silicone lottery, then this would only be useful if you know someone who was planning on getting breast implants.

(sorry, couldn't help it, LOL)

When I run prime95 it goes up to 72degrees.
In manual they say i shouldnt run other stress programs when prime is running.

But that is still a good temperature tho?????

 

[TJ Hooker]

That's still a good temperature. When running Prime95, run small FFTs test.

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Too good to be true. Even Sandy Bridge didn't run that cool at 5Ghz. No way a 7700K does. Not unless it's on a custom loop. 10 seconds of Prime doesn't count. See what the temps go to after 10 hours.

 

[samer.forums]

Actually my nephew i7 7700K is running 5.1ghz stable for more than 6 months now ... he is lucky as well and won a golden CPU. his temps max is 75

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Max temps in general use or gaming and max temps while stress testing are different things.

 

[samer.forums]

I will ask him to stress it and check out. I dont have the details , he just said to me max 75 @5.1

WDF, and is he on custom water cooling? I doubt he must have 280mm rad. I would be happy if my i7 4790k can get to 4.6Ghz without touching 86C margin during ASUS Realbench stress test.

 

[theonerm2]

If you could get 5.3GHz then I'd say you won the silicon lottery but 4.9GHz is an average chip I'd say for the 7700K.

 

[The Man Dan]

What voltages is the cpu running at?

 

[Jack_paric]

Ok, for everyone that was asking any questions:

When I run cpuburner prime95 blend and cpuz stress at the same time, I get two cores up to 80 and two other to 75,while speedfan says cpu ( I guess thats the package) gets up to 60.
when running only prime95 torture test blend I get max 70 degrees all cores, after like an hour all cores are in the neighbourhood of 95 degrees.
When I do the prime95 small ffts only, My cpu gets up to 95 degrees.

I have a corsair h110i 280mm rad with two corsair hd140mm fans.
I have mine at 4.9 ghz using the asus easy overclock bios utility.
I couldnt get the asus realbench going it said some dlls are missing, but after few clicks it somehow started and after few minutes of blender I reached max 85.
sorryy for my misconception there where I thought I am stressing my cpu and getting such low temps.
Lol im stupid. ut thanks everyone for taking time with my dumb a*s.

 

[TJ Hooker]

FYI, you could probably find a lower, stable voltage (and thereby lower temps) by overclocking manually rather than using the auto overclock utility.

There you go,

You chip is getting at 95 C, that's far from a golden chip.
But as suggested already, did you put your Vcore too high? What about the Prime95 version, are you using the version that will use AVX?

I didnt put it too high, the asus auto clocker or whatever did everything for me.
I dont know which version I am using.
Also I noticed coretemp shows that once in a while any of my 4 cores jumpes from like 30 to 40-55 and then right back to 30. I know this doesn't belong to this threat but if you could help...maybe it is normal tho...

Never use auto overclocking as that will always put the Vcore higher than needed. Do it the proper way, manually from the BIOS.

Do you have any links to a tutorial??
And how to reset the auto overclock

 

[TJ Hooker]

If you used a utility in the BIOS to auto overclock, just reset your BIOS. If it's a software utility you ran in Windows, open it up and look for a reset option.
Here's a guide: http://www.overclock.net/t/1621347/kaby-lake-overclocking-guide-with-statistics#
Here's another one (Skylake overclocking and Kaby Lake overclocking procedures should be nearly identical): https://www.tweaktown.com/guides/7481/tweaktowns-ultimate-intel-skylake-overclocking-guide/index.html

 

[SumTingW0ng]

I don't like Prime95 and that is just me. If I can pass ASUS Realbench stress test and AIDA 64, than I know I'm at 65% stable. The other 35% is your everyday stuff such as livestream, long gaming session, editing software, antivirus scanning, etc.....

You shouldn't put a lot hope onto stress testing software. Just because you pass Prime95 that doesn't means your PC is 100% stable till you run real world apps. You can pass a long run Prime95 session, but can crash when doing video editing or photoshop.

 

[TJ Hooker]

I'd say P95 is as much or more about thermal stress testing, to see what your worst case temperatures will be with your overclock, as it is about stability testing.
