I7 6700k - what is normal load temps?

[Lars01]

What is the normal load temps on a i7 6700k when stress testing prime95 version 26,6 or aida64 for example?

Let's say a i7 6700k with a Noctua nh-d15. What would be the temps on 100 % load with prime95 26,6? Or aida64 with cpu and fpu enabled?

I am talking about a stock i7 6700k, not overclocked.

HWmonitor and Hwinfo64 both shows 9-18 degrees at idle actually. Aida64 also shows low idle temperature. I do not know what is going on.

I also tried running "intel diagnostic tool" because the guy i talked to at intel said i should chech my cpu with that program. The test failed at Cpu frequency as you can see here ---> http://imgur.com/ivqSqCm

Make sure you have the latest bios installed. There might be a problem with the hardware sensor tables in your current bios. Or maybe the room you're in is actually at 66°F, which is about what those sensors are reading. That's extremely improbable though and the cores should still be reading higher than ambient even if it were running full blast at that ambient temperature.

I have the latest bios version for my motherboard. The motherboard i have is an Asus z170-a and the BIOS version is 1602. I am so tired of this cpu now, i am going to call the retailer to get a new one.

You might have trouble with that since it's already known that both Intel and AMD thermal sensors aren't generally entirely accurate at the low end of the spectrum, with AMD being even less accurate than Intel.

Section 5 - Core Temperature

Also called "Tjunction", this is the temperature measured directly on the hot spots at the transistor junctions within each Core by individual Digital Thermal Sensors (DTS). Although sensors are factory calibrated by Intel, deviations between the highest and lowest Cores may be 10C. Sensors are more accurate at high temperatures to protect against thermal damage, so idle temperatures may not be accurate.

There's a 5C thermal gradient or "offset" between Core temperature and CPU temperature. This is shown on Figure 5 in the following Intel document - http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0709/0709.1861.pdf

At Default / Auto BIOS settings (stock clock and Vcore) with 100% workload, Core temperature is 5C higher than the Tcase specification - http://ark.intel.com/ This means that whatever the Tcase specification is for your processor, add 5C to get the corresponding value for Core temperature.

Core temperature is the standard for thermal measurement because it's consistently more accurate than CPU temperature.

Core temperatures respond instantly to changes in load.

i have i7 6700(non k), my cpu reached 76 degree when played witcher 3 for 3 hours.
