Intel Core i7 4770K @ 3.50GHz Overheating ?

eddlow · Sep 8, 2013

Hi guys, recently I have bought new PC, but I'm having some questions about my CPU temp.

Idle temp of CPU is 41 °C and I know its pretty good for Idle, but while gaming it's like 80+ sometimes 90.

Is it normal and do I have to worry about it ?

What to do if its not ok ?

Thank you in advance guys, I appreciate any help.

It isn't normal but please tell me are you you using the stock cooler and what games are you playing?

Neoaculus :

Just using it as it came, didn't upgrade it or something like that, and I'm playing Splinter cell blacklist, fifa13 etc.

LOL plz don't remove your IHS.

get a decent cpu cooler like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
and everything is solved.

if you have warranty or you can return the pc for a new one, also try that.

The problem is the thermal paste between IHS and the CPU.

Wipe clean the thermal paste with rubbing alcohol, and put a pea size dot in the middle. You should get a better cooler

Well a h90 or h80i could also help you a lot.
H90: http://goo.gl/JRkNkw
H80i: http://goo.gl/6ftTcg

And make sure all the pins are securely attached to the motherboard but PLEASE do not use the box cooler.

Neoaculus :

The h80i and h90 closed loop coolers are not much of a big performance jump from a simple evo 212.
Unless he got a custom water cooling kit or at least a h100,h100i,h110 or a bigger radiator then you'll see a difference in them.

Andy11466 :

No, there should be a considerable rise in performance of about 5-10 degrees celsius.

No there isn't....
Look up benchmarks with the evo 212 and h80i theres a 1-4c difference.

I've had the 212 h80i and h100i.

Neoaculus :

No, single rad AIO coolers don't perform that much better than a Hyper 212 Evo.

Andy11466 :

You are correct Andy.
