i7 4790k high (?) temps with h100i

[panozy]

So i bought a new h100i and the prolimatech pk3 thermal paste cause i do not like the stock ones, i do not trust them. I open the prime 95 v2664 i think, and after 5 minutes it reached 55 celsius on stock speeds. I was pleased cause with the tock cooler it went straight to throttling so i palyed far cry 3. After a couple of hours my temps were 57 at max. Is this nirmal? Are not the temps a little too high with stock volts and speeds? And the thing that surprises me the most is that far cry's 3 temps are in par with the ones in prime 95, which in theory should be a lot higher cause it puts unreal stress to the cpu. Any opinion would be nice.

The safety side is what the overclocking community has found to be safe, and safe being for the longevity of the overclocked CPU, but no one can tell you how long longevity actually is (time wise) with any overclock, simply because the CPUs have not been available long enough to know that.

Good point, Ry.

This is more of a chat than a thread, i was not really looking for an answer, i was looking for knowledge which all of you gave to me. The purpose of this thread is only educational!

If that's the case you probably should have posted the thread as a discussion and not a question.

Regarding the singularity computers his work is as common as can be there's nothing special about what he does, to the newbie it may come across as awesome, but to those water coolers and case modders that know what they're doing, he is old school at best.

Shipment costs are the least of his concerns with a failed overclocked setups, lawsuit maybe!, but shipment, Nah!

He doesn't seem to be listed at the Better Business Bureau? Hmm? Wonder Why?

Regarding your last paragraph of voltage increases and CPU longevity I've already answered that.

Yeah, maybe you are right. Anyway, thank you for your responses and your time. It was nice talking with you! Best regards.

Once again, i cannot thank you enough for all of your time, your responses and the effort you put at answering! It was nice seeing your perpespective. I wish you the best!
