4670k temperatures abnormal or?

ndslite · Dec 5, 2013

Hey guys, I recently purchased an i5 4670k. Im using a CM hyper 212 EVO. Right now im at an overclock of 4.2GHz with a 1.2 Vcore, and at idle im getting about 35-37C. I was wondering if this was a bit too high? Also, when running prime95 it only reaches about 55C. Shouldn't atleast rise 20C when running a stress test? Also, it only hits about 49 when playing BF4.
EDIT: ambient temp is about 26C

yeah, I'd expect it to go higher. at 1.2 Vcore

what program are you using to test CPU temperature?

What programs and what length of time u running it

So you mean these are good temps? I've tried coretemp, HWmonitor, and the AIDA64 temp readings. Also for everyone else, the Prime95 temp was after about 4 hours. And are those idle temps fine?

vmem · Dec 6, 2013

those are phenomenal temps at those settings bud

gratz, you just won the CPU lottery, now go get a waterblock and break some records

temps look fine to me sir.

If HW mon. and other apps are getting the same temps, I'm guessing it is "a)" then. With a 26C ambient temp, 55C on P95 is very good especially with just a 212 Evo. These temps are even more amazing if you didn't tamper with the heat spreader as Ivy and Haswell are supposed to run hotter than previous gen. Intel chips due to a revised heat spreader design (thermal paste vs solder).

just saw that it hit about 58 on aida64. if these are good temps what should the max be? looking to push more clock speed.

usually people think of 80-85 C as a max temp for haswell OC (running something heavy like prime95 or aida64)

so I think you're well under the thermal cap. you'll likely hit instability before you ever reach the thermal cap.

iceclock · Dec 6, 2013

id think closer to 78-80 haswell is alot more sensitive than ivybridge or sandy

iceclock :

really? I know haswell tends to run warmer than both Ivy and Sand (clock for clock), but had higher heat tolerance...

tho I agree 80-ish is a good place to stop

iceclock · Dec 6, 2013

it can go a few degrees more but nothing can be said if it will overheat and die out. everything is possible when the thermal enveloppe got open to hell.

Thanks everyone for you help! will try to get it to 4.6

. btw whats a safe Vcore?

iceclock · Dec 6, 2013

excellent. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1722630/intel-god-quick-dirty-guide-4ghz-haswell.html

Intel says 10% above stock which is about 1.250 v. but most ppl go by 1.300 v. maximum.
