i7 4790k temps

[AlwaysGaming]

hey guys so i did the stress test on my i7 4790k with prime 95 v26.6 and here is a snapshot of it can anyone tell me is this normal or should i be concern?

Use good but cheap collet for Intel processors as they don't heat up a lot:
Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo

doesnt look like anything out of the ordinary. getting similar temps myself

I am using hyper 212 Evo? what about you??

 

[i7Baby]

81C is a bit hot. Can you get a reading with the utility software that came with your mobo?

What CPU cooler are you using?

Post your build.

I am using hyper 212 Evo
Mobo Gigabyte GA Z97M-D3H
Ram 8gb
HDD 500 GB
Corsair CX 600

OK - the hyper 212 Evo is a bit lightweight for stress testing the i7 4790k. Fine for the i5.

The i7 4790k is a bit of a strange case.

See http://www.anandtech.com/show/8227/devils-canyon-review-intel-core-i7-4790k-and-i5-4690k/2 - when OC'd at even 4.5GHz it starts to get too hot. Yet it will self turbo to 4.4 anyway. Doesn't seem to be worth OCing to me.

For CPU readings try using Easytune per http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4970#ov

if you want some more information: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

also, I use the zalman cnps10x optima. it worked fine for my fx 8320. but I'm looking into getting something a bit more powerfull..
the zalman cnps10x optima is nearly identical to the hyper 212 evo. that's why the similar temps. also prime gives very high reading, real world applications wont give you temps like that.

I hit 85C on the Intel stock cooler on P95 while waiting for WC components to arrive..... but my use of that utility is limited to setting TIM. The Hyper 212 gets ya a little more but not much.

i wouldnt sweat it to much im running 4770k with a 212 prime was pushing mine 74-78 and there isnt a game out there that gonna push that 4790 to 100% all the time like prime does. i dont think he's gonna need to oc with that cpu unless he just wants to have fun i dont even oc mine i just dont need to

Yeah I think so Prime shows some unrealistic temps cause when playing games like far cry 4 it reaches max 60-62 not above that neways i will try the utility given by i7baby and report back should i run Prime95 and check temps in the utility?

Yeah 4.4ghz is more than enough for me atleast for now

 

[i7Baby]

Why are you running Prime 95? What version?

 

[AlwaysGaming]

v26.6
so how would i know what max temp my cpu reaches when underload if I don't run P95?

 

[i7Baby]

You run a game or use the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool. Prime is a bit over the top. Even 26.6. Its really only to test an overclock stability. If you're not OCing then I wouldn't use it.

Okay then i will try running some games and check the temps in the gigabyte utility and hwmonitor should 1 hour be more than enough?

 

[AlwaysGaming]

i7baby i tried running easy tune but it is only an overclocking utility nothing more than that i cant read the cpu temps

 

[tsuneo6]

if it's from gigabyte it isnt the easytune. it's "system information viewer"

 

[AlwaysGaming]

ok thanks i vl try that

 

[AlwaysGaming]

if it's from gigabyte it isnt the easytune. it's "system information viewer"

So I checked my temp in bios

It shows two temp
CPU temp- 39-40
System Temp- 29-30

Hey guys thank you for your helps but I noticed it was my ambient temperature affecting the CPU temps cause today when I turned my room AC on and the temps I got were really nice first the temps went upto 82 as usual and then after turning the AC on they started dropping below 70 as my room was quiet chilled you can check the Image

[i7Baby]

Room temp won't make that much difference.

 

[AlwaysGaming]

so what may be the case cause temps started going down below 70 after 20 mins and then not went above 72

 

[i7Baby]

Your CPU should be on 40C max at idle and 60C max while gaming.

Blow your case out with compressed air - to get rid of dust build up. Get rid of any CPU overclock. Make sure your CPU cooler fan is running at over 1000rpm.

If that doesn't fix it, re-seat the cooler (new thermal paste).

If that doesn't work, then get a better CPU cooler.

 

[Smudgy]

ambient temps do make some of a difference my comps next to my window i crack it open let my intake fans suck it in i can idle 18c lol on my 4770k poor mans freon cooler i live in new england we all know prime95 just heats the hell outta cpu's if your in the 70's in prime wailing on it your fine

 

[Smudgy]

i still think your idle temps kinda high maybe to much thermy paste what kind did you use? ive gotta full phantom case and its 75f in here an just surfing im running 24c i also have the 212 with push pull set up.personally i'd amp up your case fans a few more revs an see oh an one more thing i'm running 103 cfm fans with high static pressure
