CPU temperature question

[carpelini]

Hello guys I have a new setup since last month.

My specs:

Asus maximus VII impact
i5 4690K
g.skill tridentx 2400 8GB
gigabyte gtx 970 g1 gaming
corsaid 250D
corsair h100i with corsair sp fans quiet edition
superflower leadex gold 650W
ssd samsung 840 evo 120G
Caviar black 1TB

I´m gonna start to play with my CPU overclock.

However i´m not sure if my current temps are ok.

My cpu idles with core temps ranging from 29ºC to 34ºC.

My load temperatures on the cores while gaming especially BF4 range from 51 ºC to 59ºc.

GPU temps in game at 1405 (stock) 49ºC in BF4 (i think here temps are really good)

BF4 in ULTRA 4x MSAA

FPS avegare around 90+ in campaign @ 1080p

This is stock settings for the cpu.

Rest of games cpu cores from 49ºC - 54ºC.

Fans on h100i max speed around 1300 rpms.

Are my temperatures ok for stock settings or a bit high?

I have seen tons of post of people saying they play BF4 like this and claiming temps aroun 45ºC on cpu (the same cpu I have) ... My thermal paste is the one pre applied on h100i i think i have a nice contact on the block since my temps at idle are normal, I think, my only concern are load temps while gaming are those high or normal?

I can post a screeshot when I arrive home.

--------------

i already had my cpu at 4.7 with 1.2V but i didn´t strees test it just entered windows temps at idle were nice, restarted default on bios and left on stock until now.

First I went on reading and search information about oc and temps and now I have this doubt about my temps.

They're fine. Also idle temperatures don't mean anything, so don't rely on them for overclocking.

 

[carpelini]

So my cpu under gaming load (BF4) is ok if a core hits 59º

 

[tinytomlogan]

Without telling us what volts its running we cant really say tbh

Im assuming youre deaf if you run the H100i at max via the link software

Its fine.

 

[carpelini]

I run the fans at around 1200 rpm really low noise ... don´t use the stock fans on h100i.

Those temps were stock voltage on cpu

Its fine.

thank you

Stock volts doesnt actually mean anything dude....


Auto just stands for n000b sadly

Please don't double post, I've merged them for you this time, thank you

This !

First time I booted up my rig Auto was on and had my CPU running at stupid volts.

All boards are different too

... Have you read my post? I just asked if my CPU temps while gaming especially BF4 were ok. since I have seen tons of people reporting almost 10ºC less then the ones i have. And since i´m going to venture into overclock I was concerned with my temps on stock voltage ... Obviously i´m new to this ...

However if the forum is just for Pros I can leave in a flash no problem ... dude

 

[Dicehunter]

All boards are different too

I learned that the hard way during the Core 2 Duo days, Dropped an E6600 into an Asus P5W-DH Deluxe mobo and it ran it Auto 1.60v, Was a bit of a scary moment considering my mate was running his at 3.40GHZ at 1.40v on the exact same board that did 1.30v Auto at stock clocks and this was running at 2.40GHZ 1.60v

It's for everyone not just pros, I think you misunderstood TTL.

The reason why your temps are higher can come down to a few things -

Air flow in your case

CPU Cooler

Volts

Amount of thermal compound on your CPU

Auto on the volts means it will be pumping a lot more than is actually needed through the CPU hence one of the reasons why your temp is 10'c higher.

 

[barnsley]

The stock voltage you refer to is different to what actual 'stock' voltage is. Most of the time your motherboard (on auto) will put more volts into the CPU than necessary. This can/will affect temperatures. If you manually set the voltage you'll get better temperatures (although they are fine) and will mean you probably will be able to get the same clocks on lower volts.

 

[Dicehunter]

If you can tell us what your Auto volts are we might be able to point you toward a more conservative number

perfect ... thank you.

Ok so moving on last question i´m ok with 1.2 V for 24/7 use can I just go and just set 1.2V and then adjust multiplier to max possible? or should I go step by step from lower volt possible and increase multiplier until unstable and then increase volts ... repeat

--------------

can´t remember at load. i remember it goes as low as 0.9 at idle but it doesn't matter.

Perfectly fine bud, If it becomes unstable just up the volts a tiny bit like to 1.21 or 1.22 etc...

A friend of mine has your CPU running at 1.32 no problems on an H105, Temps are great and it's safe although I wouldn't recommend going over that

Again mate, please don't double post but use the

Nice but i´m aiming at 1.2V let´s see i know it boots 1.2V @ 4.7 let´s see if it´s stable and go further with 1.2 V.

Ty again ... and sorry for the double posts

 

[carpelini]

hello guys so I managed to get this for stock manual settings.

How are the temps??



I used the voltage the cpu uses on auto and increased multiplier ... can´t do 42x

Lowest volts i can set 1.05V it looks like it can run 41x ...



Are temps normal running aida or they should be lower?

 

[Kushiro]

Again with the double posting...

Its been said before, it is not possible to tell you whether or not that temps should be higher or lower, as there are many factors as to what could deteremine the operating temperature. Be it airflow, room temps, thermal compund application/quality etc etc

Some people are more than happy to let their components run at 90c+, it depends on what your prefences are. However seening as how your temps are under 80c (my personal limit) who cares? its not really going to change anything...
