High Temps with 4690k and Noctua NH D15

[Shaan5]

I ran a blend in prime95 for 8 Mins and here is what I got. No overclocking has been done

Core 1: 60
Core 2: 62
Core 3: 63
Core 4: 57

Is this normal, I'm freaking out right now

The CPU Idles at 25-35 Degrees

Thanks in advance

Those are not even high temps. TJ Max for your cpu cores is 100C, although personally 80C is the limit i set.

Intel recommended CPU package temp is i believe 72C

that's normal

I get around them temps with a Noctua NH-D14 while running the AIDA64 stress test on the same cpu, so yes i'd say them temps are perfectly fine.
You may want to run the test a little longer, say 30mins or so, 8mins isn't a very long test.

Prime 95 is over stressful and only v26.6 should be used on Haswell CPUs. And then only for OC testing.

Core temp is 5C higher than CPU temp

CPU temps should be 40C max at idle and 60C max gaming.

Yours is 55C stress testing which should be 80C max. So you are more than fine.

Dont worry. Haswell can take alot of heat. Commonly accepted safe limit is under 80° during stress test. Under 75° is even considered conservative... Thermal throtteling kicks in only at 105°. Some have run theirs at above 90° idle for months without knowing (lol i know) and without killing it...

I will run it for 20 mins and report temps

I use Real Temp for checking and recording temps

Core 1: 60
Core 2: 62
Core 3: 63
Core 4: 56

The temps progressively rised and peaked at 8 mins before plummeting back down tp the 50's. They rose back to around 60 at the 16 Minute mark but never exceded their original peak temps, within a minute, they fell back down to the 40's and Stayed there

The Voltage was around 1.106 V

I just ran the Metro Last Light Redux benchmark 5 Times through and according to real temp

Core 1: 47
Core 2: 49
Core 3: 48
Core 4: 47

Are these temps good

 

[Entomber]

yes. they are not high at all.

So it looks like your PC is running 100% OK.
