Question Should i repaste ?

[TomasKorbel]

Hello, maybe dumb question but, i want to ask if i should repaste my CPU, when i got new cooler i cleaned cpu with something like vodka it had like 40% alcohol in it.

So question is, should or is it worth to repaste if i got isoprophyl alcohol 90+% ?

cpu is i7-9700k stock 1.25V core voltage manually set
tested with prime95 i had max 85Celsium with power draw 160Watts. 1.2V. (yeah i know prime push temps insane etc.)

Then tested with some basic testing programs
Aida - around 69Celsium
OCCT - 73Celsium
Coooler - Noctua NH-D15

Thanks

Prime95 will push the CPU as far as the CPU can really go. And an Intel CPU should stay below 85 degrees at any time. If you are only reaching 85 degrees under highest stress load, then I would say you're fine.

As long as under load your CPU temp is below 85 degrees, you'll be keeping the CPU in a safe and recommended range.

Just next time if you do repaste, use the Isoprop alcohol

have you over clocked it?

Temps are ok. I think you will not notice any difference in temperature if you repaste, so better to stay with that.

Nope, i basically only gaming on that PC so no need overclocking it, maybe in future with more demanding GPU
