4770k temps in high 30's on idle

purse · Apr 10, 2014

I am running the noctua U14s cpu cooler on my 4770k. Now I'll admit my room is not the coolest, but when it is cool I tend to see lower 30's and cant get anywhere into the 20's which is frustrating. I even added a push pull on my cooler and temps are still the same.

I tried both the spread method paste and pea sized, results were the same. However when I re applied paste to pea shape, on 100% load I sit at high 60's. Before I would almost hit 90C.

Any thoughts on why I can't get temps lower?

Dude ... that temp is quite ok .. it`s not overheating , affecting your CPU`s performance in anyway ... are you that crazy that you can`t sleep if you don`t know your CPU is below 30 ? And 60+ in full load is again quite ok , to go under 60 you need to go with water cooling.

Your current temps are not affecting your CPU performance at all. Heck, my CPU will constantly approach 80 during gaming on a stock cooler, but does not seem to slow it down at all. You will be fine.

Haswell just runs like a skillet. that's about average.

With aircooling those temps of 30 - 70 degree isnt that bad

I have a dual radiator water cooling on my cpu and only see 25 degree when idle and 58 degree when at load

i have seen that on peoples 4770 just surfing the web its normal

I've just read so much about my particular set up and people reporting degrees in the mid 20's. Guess I got a hotter chip than normal it seems. Thanks guys!

coolcole01 · Apr 10, 2014

the truth is that when chips are running cool temp probes are actually pretty inaccurate which is why sometimes they will say they are 16 degrees only to be 35 a second later

You also have to take into account the ambient temps of those guys who were reporting mid-20's. Your ambient temps most probably are higher than theirs. People seem to forget this, it's one of the biggest factors in your CPU temps.

Mine with a Thermalright True Spirit 90 M Rev.A and one fan runs at 28-30 idle and 60-68 on load.
I do have a 200mm front and a 200mm top fan and a rear 120mm fan that sits just in line with the back of the CPU rad, so kinda acts like a push pull.
