High Load Temps on i7 4790k

[ChrisDovahkiin]

i7 4790k running at boost (4.4MHz) + Hyper 212 EVO running at max RPM

All on an Asus Sabretooth Mark S

Idle yields the following:

A stress test with Aida64 yields:

Are these temps a bit high? I just redid the thermal paste.

If you need any information, just ask.

Thank You!!

Yea temps are way too high

Doesn't look like it is throttling. CPU shouldn't care about 95 Celsius unless it's there all the time. It could be that way for a year 24/7 and the chip probably wouldn't quit. But <90 is better for much of a vcore increase from stock. Stock voltage, CPU should last nearly forever at close to throttle temp.

Those temps are not healthy for your CPU.

Your idle is within the upper limits of passing, but the temperature under full load shouldn't exceed 80 celcius, and you're hitting way above that. Here is a comprehensive guide to Intel CPU Temperatures to use as a reference:

There's two main things you can do to improve your temps:

-Make sure you're applying the thermal paste correctly, applying too much can acutally 'insulate' the CPU and cause increased heat, too little and you won't get good heat transferrence.

-If you've double checked that your thermal paste is applied correctly and you're still getting high temps you should probably upgrade your after market CPU heatsink
