Question My intel core i7-4770 is running at 80°C when gaming. Is there a problem?

[Kato Balazs]

So I am using an intel core i7-4770 and temps are really high.
Idle temps are 40-55°C
Load temps are 79-83°C
Prime 95 temps are 86-90°C
So my question is, is this too high and if so what should I do.
I reaplied thermal paste a few days ago and I have a TaiSol 12VDC Ball Bearing CPU cooler.

Rest of the system:
16 Gb ddr3 ram
Gtx 1060 6G
240 Gb SSD
1 Tb HDD
500W PSU
Thanks for any help!

The temps are a bit high(~10-15C too high, IMO), even if not dangerous....

I would try and buy much better cooler system for your computer because i dont know if am correct or wrong but do not think TaiSol 12VDC Ball Bearing CPU cooler can cool down your cpu

What cooler would you recommend?

What cooler would you recommend?

There lots of good coolers out there but i would recommend one that have more fan power that will cool down your cpu alot more but anything cheap not worth it. The coolers i like are the be quiet ones Or you could go with hyper 212 Evo

Thanks the 212 Evo is a bit expensive for my budget, what do you think about the DeepCool Gammax 300 or 400 ?

Yeah the DeepCool Gammax 400 might be better then that cooler

Yeah the DeepCool Gammax 400 might be better then that cooler

It is cheaper none the less, do you think that these temps could damage my CPU?

do not think they will damage your CPU but with an new cooler the temps might go down little bit but those temps are not the best temps but ok
