Rate my temps

[Kyle]

Hi, I just rearranged and removed a lot of fans for noise control. I've got an overclock on my 3570K of 4.2Ghz. I ran a heaven benchmark and max Prime95 for a few hours at the same time and here are the temps. Would they suit heavy gaming? Also, it's about 15C outside and it's usually 21C or so, maxing at about 32C

Is that a screen during the run?

 

[Kyle]

No, after I finished. You can look at the max temps. The averages were about 3 degrees lower than the max for each value.

Also, @grassman, what clock is your 3770K at 0.85v?

 

[grassman]

Stock clock

It's a shame that the paste on the thing is soo horrendous though.

I can't go over 1.180 volts because the temps are so stupid.

Also your temps look good to me

 

[Kyle]

thanks for the reply. what cooling system are you using?

 

[grassman]

h100i It won't matter what I put on it though as the paste on Ivy Bridge is crap.

 

[luckydog]

quite acceptable

My i5-3570K clocked to 4.2ghz gets me up to 75c and that using the Hyper 212 Evo air cooler and IBT, if mine are fine then yours sure are.

Absolutely fine temps. Tbh, I'd be pushing further than that.

4.5ghz was about the limit for mine on air cooling, and I could manage that on 1.205v. There's a certain clock speed with Ivy that if you go above, you suddenly need far more volts to get stable - therefore more heat. I suggest you try to find that limit then put yourself just below it.

As reference, my 3770k is now delidded, and runs at 4.7ghz (currently 1.375v) with temps maxing low 70s.
