HI guys, on a phone on lunch break so I'll try make it quick.

Yesterday I completed my new build:

Asus Strix h270f
i7 7700 non-k
Deep Cool Gamerstorm 240ex AIO

Using the stress cpu option in cpu-z sees core temps around the 65c mark after 15 minutes.

After about 45 minutes of overwatch core temperature sits around high 50's low 60''s.

Long bf1 sessions can see some cores reach 70.

It idles at 25ish degrees.

Have resit the cpu and bracket and pump and used a different paste and very little change.

Radiator is front mounted with fans intake cold air from out of case. Have 2 exhaust fans. Are these temps normal?

If not what can I do?

here are the temps of i7 7700k using corsair H100i V2

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2017/february/h100iv2%20i7-7700k%20cooling

as you can see , temp is 58C running at 4.2Ghz (93 watts) without overclocking and without turbo

it...

ive posted a thread regarding 7700k temps as well and it seems that 7700ks can run hot and due to intels crap tim some chips are much worse than others. your temps arent dangerous or anything. is the 70 degrees while gaming only a spike while loading or is it consistently in the 70s?

To be very honest with you it was more about aesthetics then anything else. The white goes super well with the rest of my build.

I used hwmonitor for those temperature reading so don't know if they were quick spikes or sustained. What would be the best program to monitor averages?

So these processors just run hot? This is the non-k version, I'd maybe understand the k one.

If you were in this spot what should my next move be if anything?

I dunno that I'd say they "run hot". Temperature measurements are almost arbitrary. For instance, let's say one CPU from manufacturer A has a max temperature of 72c and is reading 62c. Another from manufacturer B has a max temp of 100c and is reading 70c. Which one is hotter?

Truth is, you can't actually know which one is hotter in the absolute sense. The sensors are in different places, and are calibrated differently. All you can say for sure is which one is closer, and which is farther from overheating. And, your 7700 is still 30+ degrees from overheating.

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I'm just disappointed with the temperature given its not OC'd and I'm using watercooling which I'd assume would be overkill but the temperatures seem pretty shitty given my setup.

The i7 7700 is only 65 watt TDP CPU , on water cooling should run very cool . I cant tell about the temp because I never tried water cooling on non K . but those temps are fishy IMO , double check everything ... thermal paste , mounting , fan speed , etc

Once again resit the cooler, totally removed all of the bracket and started again from scratch. Used isopropyl to clean along with a coffee filter. Applied arctic 5 using dot method. Same temperatures....

At this point I have to wonder if the cooler is underperforming or is broken.

Reviews of this model show much lower temps even with over clocks (50's under load)albeit on a 6th or 5th gen chip....

Cooler busted? The gap between reviews on this thing and the temperatures I get on a non oc processor is pretty large...

could be .. I was expecting 60c Max for that chip with 240 RAD , but did not say because I never tried it ...

65 watts is NOTHING .. you can Passive cool 65 watts CPU . and you are using 240 Radiator !!! remember this as well.

try increasing the fan speed and see what happens. dont max it , it will be noisy .. just increase it to acceptable noise level.

More likely than the cooler being busted, is that your heatspreader is not seated as effectively as some other 7700K's. This is not uncommon. However, lowering your temps will gain just about nothing, and I rather wish I hadn't delidded mine, as it ruins resale value.

How do I quote on mobile lol....

Tech_TTYL How do I up my fans? The way it's set up as per the AIO manual is my pump into aio_pump and a 4 way fan splitter thing that is 4 pins plugged into cpu_fan....

My 2, 4 pin fans that came with the kit are plugged into the first 2 slots as per instructions, then my 2 case fans (3 pin, phanteks eclipse p400) plugged into slot 3 and 4....

Done this way as I didn't need to have fan cables routed through the case and could put them all in the space at the back of the mobo.

Also thanks for all the replies guys just that I spent a fair bit upgrading this thing and want everything running super! Hardware in New Zealand isn't the cheapest.

Thanks again... I'll post a picture of my build when I can so happy with how it looks and performs.

OK last 2 questions! Sorry and thanks again...

Would it be more obvious if the cooler was broken? For example I'd assume that were the pump not working properly playing bf1 would see much higher temps/throttling/or a shutdown. But it sort of sits around 70 and not much higher. I'd assume that I'd see far worse than that if it was borked.

Second, could it be a combination of a just okay cooler, and losing the Silicon lottery on the cpu?

On the edge of returning the cooler for something else lol.

as you can see , temp is 58C running at 4.2Ghz (93 watts) without overclocking and without turbo

it hits 69C with turbo on at 4.5Ghz

your CPU is just 65 watts running at lower than that frequency (3.6 - 4.2Ghz)

I cant tell if your cooler is broken or not .. but I can compare , it is up to you to decide

try turning Turbo off and see ...

I bought an i7 7700 non k cpu with a b250m bazooka motherboard and the G.skill ddr4 2400mhz 2x8gb ram. I use the stock cooler and it stays around 70 degrees while playing battlefield 1 on big 64 player maps. I dont believe in hwmonitor or any other cpu temp software anymore as i did n stress test in prime95 and it reched 94 degrees and 100before i reseated the cooler. I checked its temp and the second i stop the stress test it jumos down to 55 degrees and goes lower toe 38 after that. I dint think anything on air cooling can, jump down that, fast in temperature after you close a stress test.. So for me it runs cool enough
