CPU temperature problem.

castel · Nov 16, 2013

Hello I've been noticing a problem lately that I finished building my PC (November 14th), I think the CPU temperature goes too high or it's normal?

When measuring the CPU I use "CPUID HWMonitor" which tell me pretty much every core temperature, but I'm gonna use the package option to show you the temp., which I believe its the hole thing.

When testing these games I get:

World of warcraft: 60-65 Celsius
Day of defeat: 70c - 80c (this is where I got worried and decided to post)
Eve online: 58c - 64c (when walking into stations 72c-74c+)

This is my build:

Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (includes 3 fans)
PS: CX600M
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3
RAM: Corsair Vengance 8GB
CPU: quad-core i5 4670k (not overcloked) + retail CPU fan.
HD: WD blue 1T
OS: windows 7
Graphic cards: none

when no playing games it goes from around 39 Celsius to 45 Celsius.

That is high so check with another program if reading correctly and check your cooler install if it is.

Im sure intel didnt have that in mind when they made that heatsink.. The heatsink is fine.. whether or not the heatsink does its job depends on how hot the room is, and as well as the thermal grease.. idk if those heatsinks have thermal on them, but if they do, you must of nicked it or mushed it against the processor or something when trying to install, removing some of the thermal and displacing it and unevenly distributing grease to other legions of the processor, it seems maybe you should remove all the thermal and put it back on, make sure its even and dont use a lot.. just enough so you cant see the metal of the processor..

Lets just put it this way.. if you're sweating in that room then so is you're comp, so i suggest thermal check and stuff like that.. 70C or 80C scares me on my 8350 ^.^ most certainly would freak me out if my intel chip did that

Also, i forgot to mention that that chip also has a GPU in it as well. This is most likely the culprit for heat because thats your dedicated GPU, but this can all be fixed with a nice old thermal grease replacement or something...

Im only 95% sure because Im an AMD guy not an Intel one

Intel has a higher max operating temp today than AMD so it should really be the other way around.

Lol you say that like thats a good thing, yep those cpus get toasty.. guess its normal then

They are too high unless OP has ambient temps of high 30's°C.
