Haswell Temps Reporting High

horrormaster · Jun 2, 2013

I was going to go out to Micro Center tomorrow and get all the parts for a new PC (since rocking a E8500). Was planing on running a 4670k since they have it for 199.99$. What's stopping me is the reviews reporting Haswell running up to 20C hotter at the same speed, even with a H100i cooler. That can't be true, right? The reviews have the 3770k at 59C and the 4770k at 79C.

The new haswell does run hotter according to every review ive seen, but it also runs faster. You shouldnt reach problem temperatures unless you do extreme overclocking.

Look at toms review of haswell on there front page. The first run of retail chips that they tested were hard to get running over 4g without coming close to burning them out. I bet they get to c or latter stepping silicone people will find the chips over clock better.
