i7-8086k Idle temps

[TruStick]

So this is my first high end pc, I'm still kinda new to building pcs and all that especially with a higher budget. I've never dealt with such high temaptures before so I have no clue whats normal, but my i7-8086k is idling at about 48-51c and I thought that was awfully high? My 1080 idles at 37c which seems much more normal. I have an Asetek 550LC Liquid Cooler 120mm as my cpu cooler
Specs:
i7-8086k
GTX 1080 8GB
16 GBS 3000mhz DDR4

What's the temperature at full load?

 

[profoundnoah]

Those are rather high for idle temps. What was your ambient temperature when you took that reading? Are there any applied OC's to speak of? Have you tried remounting/repasting the cooler?

No OC's or anything, I think it may have been the program I was using, I switched to speedfan and it's saying my idle temps are roughly 36, and running some stress tests on it is still taking a fairly long time to get anywhere near 80c

These are the comparison of the two programs I'm using, the heat from my computer certainly doesn't seem like its 90c so I'm fairly certain it's inaccurate readings

Just to make sure, I'd recommend downloading HWinfo. It's one of the most reliable monitoring tools to date. Post a screenshot of what it reads out for your CPU, please. https://www.hwinfo.com/

Here's a side by side comparison after turning off the stress test for about 10 minutes

The Package temps will usually be higher than the CPU readout on most software. Is it possible for you to scroll up to where it shows the temperatures of each Core # and run a stress test? 5 Minutes should be adequate to determine if you have a serious cooling issue (though your CPU will get a little hotter as time goes on due to the nature of liquid cooling). What are you using to stress your CPU? I'd recommend AIDA64. Download the trial version of extreme, then go to tools>systemstability test>then click on the unified tab and run the test for 10 minutes or so. Take a screenshot of that as well.

With gpu at 37, op's ambient is closer to 24ish, so the cpu should be idling around 32-38 depending on the fan. Windows will make it bounce into the low 50's unless there's something actively running in the background like Antivirus, backups or malware which will bump the cpu out of idle and into load temps. This includes any windows updates which can take several days to finish.

You need a better CPU cooler than that.

Those 120mm AIO's are too weak for the CPU.

What cooler would you recommend then?

Here is my 8086K @ 5 GHz (All cores) Cooler is NH D15

Idle:

Prime 95:

TDP is the power used during a specific set of applications. It's close enough that the wattage is used for cooling as well as power. What's not said is those apps are mediocre, as in nominal usage, like Photoshop, light games, winzip small files etc. They are not extreme usage. Peak power is @1.5x - 2x TDP. For an i7 with hyperthreading on a 6c/12t cpu you'd be looking at at least 2x TDP. That means nominal usage is @95w (TDP) but extreme usage like under Prime95 is going to be closer to 200w.

120mm AIO's, budget 120mm aircoolers such as the CM Hyper212 etc are all around 130-150w coolers. This puts them as fine for everyday usage, but totally inadequate for extreme usage. Heavy gaming generally can run @70% of Peak power, so with a 200w max (before any OC) you are looking at @140w during gaming. Expect temps to hit @80+ depending on the cooler and apps like Prime95 or rendering or large file compiles will be topping 90°C+.

So your Asetek 550LC will be good for general stuff, but not so good for temps once you start pushing that cpu, which already has a factory set OC from its i7-8700k base.

240mm AIO's are minimum recommended, or larger towers/twin towers such as the Noctua NH-D14, Phanteks PH-TC14PE or better, all at a 200w+ rating.

Check if asus multicore enhancement is ON. Thats what gave me
Those idle temps like u got.


PROVIDING u use asus mobo


If it is, just turn it off and watch ur cpu float between 4.2 - 5ghz with much less temps due to volts being 1.3 max instead up to 1.5.

I fixed all cores on 5ghz, llc 6 , avx offset 0 and volts used to be 1.275 now its 1.26 idling around 40ish ( my room temp is around 35 lol )

Braged my
Chip
Other day how i can pull this trough with 1.235 and then when i ran pubg wow and overwatch simultaneously gave me
Bsod. No bsod at 1.275 now im trying 1.26
