I7-3770k Processor Safe Temp Range?

[harmacintyre]

These Are The Temps I Am Running. SpeedFan Says My Cores Are In The Red. Are These Temps Not Safe For My Processor?

Could You Give Me A Safe Temp Range And Possibly A Link For Future Reference Also?

your temp is not good.

but i suggest see temp by using real temp or with core temp software

I Am Still Not Sure What I Am Looking At And What Is In The Safe Range.

Your temps are fine! Ivy runs hot. If your temps hit 80+C in games then you should be worried.

What cooler are you using? Are these temps in game or high usage or at idle?

When overclocking the 3rd generaiton Intel® Core™ processors do run hotter but at their normal speeds they they are cool running processors. In the end I have tried to keep the temperatures on my overclocked Intel® Core™ i5-3570K under 80°C when running Prime95.

It Is At 70-80% Usage And Not Overclocked And Stock Cooler

75-80C is normal for IB at heavy load with stock cooler. Most half-decent aftermarket coolers like the 212+ will drop full-load temperatures by at least 15C when properly installed.

The stock HSF is intended for little more than meeting Intel's warranty requirements so it tends to let chips run much hotter than enthusiasts usually like to.

That's way too high. I'm at 34c running 4.5ghz.

At idle, sure.

Now try running it at 70% load like the OP. I doubt you'll manage to keep IB under 55C - specially not with the stock HSF.

I have mine at 4.2ghz running at about 34-41c at 70% +-

Thermal Radar is just a set of temperature sensors on the motherboard. The CPU's on-die temperature sensors will be much hotter since they are directly inside heat source, cutting out all the heat flow resistance and dispersion.

You are fine. I have a slight overclock on mine and it runs at 100 percent at 73 degrees average. Don't worry.

I have a full custom liquid loop and run at 70c at full load overclocked to 4.5. That temp range is safe, been running it for two years. If you are looking to overclock, though, you will need to upgrade your cooler.
