Intel i5 4460 Temperature Question

[itzhalo]

Welp, I finally switched to intel. I used to own an FX 8350 and such along with the 970 and in most multiplayer games it was holding it back. So as you guys can see I swapped over to intel and just have a simple question about my temps. I currently have my 4460 hooked up to the Corsair h80i. My temps just on the internet and idle fluctuate between 30-40c yet as I am typing this now it is fluctuating between 37-42c. Also keep in mind I am running on the "Quiet" preset on the h80i because I am not on an OC'ed chip so whats the use 😛 But anyways when I hopped on Prime95 my temps shot up to 59-62c and really only stayed between there. My apologies if this is a useless question its just that coming from an AMD 8350 user where getting near 61c is a bad sign I just am concerned about the 4460's temps. Thanks guys!

Nope, you're good. The max safe core temp for that Haswell is 77C. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html
73C measured under the lid: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-4460.html
But go by core temps, because you have no way of reading temps under the lid.

Sweet thanks for the quick reply! Really puts my mind at ease knowing the max safe temp for intel chips are higher 😛
