I7-4790 temperature question

[Maester Trea]

Just recently I bought a new motherboard and a I7-4790 and I was curious about the max temperature of my CPU. So far the highest I've seen it go is 55-60c while the package temp I've seen go up to 62c so far. Idle temp seems around 33-37c while in a 68F room.

So was just curious if these temps are fine or not.

Maester Trea,

Yes, your temperatures are fine.

Maximum recommended Core temperature is 79C. Sustained Core temperatures above 80C are considered too hot for stable gaming or processor longevity.

Please read this Tom's Stick: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

It should answer all your questions.

Alright from what i can tell from reading your guide (very nice btw ^^) it seems pretty normal for what my ambient temps are at the moment concidering that those temps i posted about were around 40-60% or so cpu load. I'll most likely bookmark it as a reference in case i ever have more questions.

Appreciate the info thanks =)
