Hello everyone, I would need some advice about this.
I just built a new PC with following:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.5-3.9 GHz
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero
I use the stock Intel cooler for the CPU, and I know it's NOT optimal, but I want to know if the temperatures I'm getting are normal for what I'm using and if this could damage my CPU.
Idle temperatures are about 50°C, about 60°C under normal use (web surfing and stuff). Now, while gaming on Battlefield 4 it goes from 87°C up to 94°C peak! And on Prime 95 it goes up to 100°C. I tried reseating CPU cooler and changing thermal compound twice already, no change. I see that the voltage changes by .1V while on Prime 95, and I suppose that causes all the heat, but considering 3.9GHz and correctly installed stock Intel cooler, is all this normal? Is all that heat expectable with the stock cooler? Are theese temperatures going to hurt my CPU? Should I replace the cooler? Thank you all in advance!
