I7 5820k Idel temperature and load temperature

[shandidy]

Hi, i just built i new rig 2 days ago i7 5820k and the cooler is cooler master evo 212 i am a little bit worried about my temps i know that the evo 212 is a low end cooler so i am not Over clocking at all, so my temps at idel is 35C and at load is 70C never exceeded 70C i am using real temp gt to monitor my temps and i have selected the lowest core temp and highest core temp and this is running P95 for 8 hours or more, is that normal "good for 6 core cpu", Please Advise , also i will be posting a screen shot later of my temps, Thanks

I'd use liquid cooling for a x99 build. I like to super cool my systems, 60C is what I consider high But most people say 70-80 is normal, it is too hot for me 😀

 

[holyrage]

thats very good u dont have to worry about it unless it hits 85C+ anything below that is safe usually gaming or rendering/editing wont get the CPU worked up as much as P95 dose so your temps will be lower on real world stuff

 

[shandidy]

Oh that's a relief as i don't have money now to buy a water cooler as i financed the parts 😀 lol i really appreciate your help guys

 

[-Lone-]

I'd still get a liquid cooling for later

 

[shandidy]

ok i just came back at home so load temp is 70C but it is idling now at 40C is it still normal for idle temp

If it goes pass 40C at idle, then it is not good

 

[shandidy]

No so far it is 38-40C at Idle and i totally agree with you about water cooling it later but "my later" is about 9 month or maybe a year 😀

 

[-Lone-]

9 months? How long did it take you to get all of the other parts then?

 

[shandidy]

How long about 6 month as i used to have z97 system before but it was watercooled as it was an oem asus g30ab so it was not a custom built i sold that system after i paid it off

update ended up ditching my evo 212 and bough thermal take water 2.0 performer and it is much better i will see the temps after the thermal paste cure

Awesome, liquid cooling is so much better

 

[shandidy]

Here is my final results after running P95 for 30 hours using the thermaltake water 2.0 performer maximum load temps is 63C on my hottest core using realtemp gt, and my idle temps at the hottest core at idle 39C, i know it is an improvement but is that good now?? for that cpu 5820k, thanks

shandidy,

Was that Prime95 version 26.6?

Small FFT's?

At what ambient temperature?

[shandidy]

it is Version 28.5 and i ran the default test with 12 threads, i don't know the ambient temps as i don't have a device to detect it

 

[CompuTronix]

shandidy,

Please use only P95 version 26.6 - http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot.com/2011/04/prime95-266.html

Your Core temperatures will test 10 to 20C cooler than P95 version 28.5. A Thermal Test only needs 10 minutes of Small FFT's.

Core i 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation CPU's have AVX (Advanced Vector Extension) instruction sets. Recent versions of Prime95 run AVX code on the Floating Point Unit (FPU) math coprocessor, which produces unrealistically high temperatures. The FPU test in the software utility AIDA64 shows the same results.

Prime95 v26.6 produces temperatures on 3rd and 4th Generation processors more consistent with 2nd Generation, which also have AVX instructions, but do not suffer from thermal extremes due to having a soldered Integrated Heat Spreader and a 35% larger Die.

Concerning ambient temperature, most places have a thermostat in a hallway. That's all you really need to roughly determine ambient temps. Can you guestimate? Is it Northern hemisphere winter cold, or is it Southern hemisphere summer hot? Maybe this will help:

"Ambient" temperature is the temperature measured at your computer's air intake. Standard Ambient temperature is 22C. This is a very critical measurement, because Ambient directly affects all computer temperatures. Use a trusted analog, digital or IR thermometer to measure Ambient temperature.

Here's the temperature conversions and a short scale:

Cx9/5+32=F ... or ... F-32/9x5=C ... or more simply ... an increase of 1C = an increase of 1.8F

30.0C = 86.0F Hot
29.0C = 84.2F
28.0C = 82.4F
27.0C = 80.6F
26.0C = 78.8F Warm
25.0C = 77.0F
24.0C = 75.2F
23.0C = 73.4F
22.0C = 71.6F Standard ... or ... 22.2C = 72.0F
21.0C = 69.8F
20.0C = 68.0F Cool

As Ambient temperature increases, thermal headroom and overclocking potential decreases.

ok did what you recommended ran P95 V 26.6 for 10min the same results which is not bad real temp gt highest core is 63C and at idle is 35C-39C , Intel extreme tuning utility maximum temp under load is 57, since i switch to water cooling it is much much better, thank you all for your help it is much much appreciated.

sorry forgot to post my ambient temps i believe it is around 25C as i am in Calgary "COLD WEATHER" and i got the heater cranked up all the way 😀

 

[Ciprian_1]

to me, those temps for i7-k5820k seem a litle too high. i have the same cpu and a noctua d14-se2011 on it and i have 23C in idle with an ambient temp of 20C+.

I have a over clocked the CPU @ 4.0 ghz, using corsair 105 temps 38 idel and 77 load

I actually use cooler master evo 212 myself, and have overclocked my 5820k to 4.0ghz @ 1.100 volts with an idle temp @ about 35 celcius, and a full load temp @ 65 celcius. In game temp varies, but normally doesn't go any higher than around 55-58 celcius. I consider that a very good temp with air cooling. You should not worry with your temps, they're fine. I consider myself lucky with my temps, but the airflow through my cabinet probably make quite a difference.

I have a 17-5820k, it idles at 27C and at load it runs at 38C at max settings (Rainbow Six). I use the Corsair H100i v2 (dual radiator water cool). I have never seen temps that high on mine. This water cool model is very simple to install and negotiate room inside your rig for it. i7's should be water cooled, it's just healthy. I am sure you can get away with what you are doing now, but for the sake of the longevity of your cpu, I would grab an H100i, your CPU will perform better at lower temps.

I have already install h105 and over clocked my cpu to 4.1ghz at all times hightest temps at a hot day is 70c and at a cold day 65c and lower

Perhaps you have incorrectly applied thermal paste (doesn't it come pre-applied?) But maybe your pc has a rough fan set up allowing for an excess of heat build up for long sessions? I don't have mine over clocked, but I can't imagine the heat difference would be that great. I did get a big heat drop when I flipped my PSU upside down so the fan pointed down and to the outside of the case (1200W) but I can't imagine with water cooling you would get Temps that high, even with water cooling. I also have a rather large case (corsair 750D) and as many fans as I could throw in there.
