Should my 5820k be getting this hot?

NO oc's at all.

Just bought this rig today.

went ahead and did the windows updates and came up 20 mins laterand saw that my processor was at 40c. Seeing as it wasnt even done the updates and that it wasnt doing any creative
productions like it will be soon is this about the right temp?

Dont want it overheating when i get to the adobe/maya/rendering type products.


EDIT: Thought i'd add that my h100i in my gaming rig (same room) idles at 20-25c which is why it was worrying me.

No, it's fine. Most CPUs idle at around 40 °C. Do a torture test on Prime 95 and report back max temperatures.

 

[Brillis Wuce]

40c is fine. People usually start noticing when their CPU approaches around 70c, so your well below that. It's also affected by the temperature of the room you're in. Run a CPU benchmark and monitor your temps. That's what really counts.

Will do once the updates are done ill go ahead and run it. How long should i be running this for?

do you recommend prime 95? or a different one.

 

[Brillis Wuce]

Alpha3031 got it right. Prime95 😉

Ok ill do that and post results. How long should i run it for?

 

[Brillis Wuce]

Let it go for about an hour. This will give you an idea of your minimum and maximum temperatures, while testing stability as well.

Ok man will post results in an hour then

 

[Joseph DeGarmo]

40°C looks about right. Workstation multi-core CPUs tend to generate more power and heat than their mainstream counterparts. (i.e. an i7-4790k idling at about 32°C)

At what temp should i turn the test off?

 

[Brillis Wuce]

Doesn't matter. You're just looking for the highest number it gets to.

 

[Alpha3031]

It isn't going to explode after a few hours of stress, and it will throttle before it get to the shutdown temp.

It went to a max of 65c after an hour of stress testing it with prime. It stayed around 55c-60c most of the time

 

[Brillis Wuce]

Perfectly normal. Liquid cooling averages about 55-60c in stress testing, so 65c for a 212 EVO is just fine.

From other peoples experiences with the 5820K, they've gone up to 93c with the stock cooler during Prime95, and it ran fine then. While I wouldn't recommend that temperature, it's still within Intels thermal limit.

Ok man thanks so much! one last question.

Just did the autotune from A-tuning thats included with my MOBA. It got 4.3 which im impressed. Is that safe/stable with everything else? Are the voltages or whatever else that it changed ok? Dont know much about ocing.

 

[Brillis Wuce]

For this subject, post another thread. There are others on Toms Hardware that know a lot more than I do about overclocking.

 

[Alpha3031]

To find out if it's stable, just stress test overnight or something. Max VCore is around 1.3, so 1.2 is fine.
