[SOLVED] Is 79C too hot for a cpu?

[XSR]

I was running CPUID while running a Cinebench and the max turned out to be 79 C for two of the cores and the rest of the cores were in the mid 70s. Is this too hot? Should I get a new heatsink. My room temp is probably around 22C.

CPU: Intel i5 4690
I’m using an Arctic 11 GT Rev.2

No.

you might be able to lower temp if you could had more case fans name and model of it and set up of fans in .

THose would be quite normal temps for a factory cooler with a heavy Cinebench-type load...

pretty normal for stock cooling solutions (heatsink and thermal compound).

edit: under load, at least. if its hitting 79c idly then i think you got some issues on hand.

So I did another Cinebench test and the CPU reaches 88~89C. I am concerned.

I think I should buy a new cooler.
I don't know which cpu cooler should I choose between these two:

1. Arctic Alpine 12 CO
2. Antec A30

i5-4690: 84w TDP, at base frequency only
Arctic 11 GT Rev.2: 70w TDP
Arctic Alpine 12 CO: 100w TDP
Antec A30: Can't find much of anything on this, so I'm left guessing... two, 6(?)mm heatpipes, a 92mm fan... MAYBE 120w.

I'd say thats just acceptable peaking on load, cinebench also likes to ramp to 80's for the duration, since its not very long, thats acceptable. Personally though on a 4770k, for reference, like to keep it 75 max, reaching low 80's on cinebench.

Hows the thermal paste? perhaps re-apply a silver based one?

@Rodrigodrt
Cinebench can be extended: File > Preferences > Minimum Test Duration > Enter number(in seconds). Now it's a legit stress test.
