i7 4770k Temperatures stock clock speed

[Stevo97]

Under load still hitting close to 50 with stock clock? Just curious I'm running an h110i Corsair Liquid Cooler and pushing stock with 70%-100% load hitting around 51c.

I don't know why, but I thought the temps would be lower then that. Can anyone confirm this is normal?

I also had to format windows because during boot my fans were fine, but once windows loaded the case fans would stop working. Not sure what caused that. I also had to uninstall my USB 3.0 Drivers because my keyboard and mouse wouldn't work almost like the power in the USB wouldn't work even if I had tried multiple plugins.

That is a very acceptable temperature you could try removing the heatsink and applying some good new thermal paste. in most reviews they get about 43 under the load

Heya. On my 4770k, with stock cooler, at stock speed, I was getting mid 40s. After installing a Corsair H100i, it got down to 27-28 at idle, and mid 50s during Prime95 torture test. Clocked at 4.3Ghz, 31@idle and 59-60 during Prime95 torture test. Fans run at a fixed 1000 rpm at all occassions, and paste used is Ceramique 2.
Hope it helps.

At idle I'm right around the same 29C while I know these are OK temps I expected lower. I reformatted and uninstalled Asus AI Suite 3 for some odd reason during the the Fan Xpert I was having issues with my case fans turning on and off. Not sure if this software was the main issue, but whatever the issue was. I chose to not install this software and just went with the main drivers/software for windows leaving this out.

Thanks for the replies. I thought about doing a minor OC back up to 4.2 or 4.3Ghz, but the games I play barely push this machine I built. Even playing BF4 I haven't had any issues. I just felt as though the temps would be lower for a stock machine under mediocre load

I actually applied new Thermal Paste tonight. I thought using my Warranty with Asus would correct the fan controller issue on the Mobo. I thought I had a faulty Mobo just to find out that it was software related. Had a tech tell me the Mobo was faulty.

I was unable to install my USB 3.0 Drivers because they were not recognizing my Keyboard and Mouse. I had to actually roll back to a previous restore point. Oddly windows and my bios prior to completely booting into windows worked, but once in windows the mouse and keyboard became useless till I did this. Glad to know my temps with this cooler are on par atleast.
