Hi,

I'm stress testing my new build with Prime95. I'm using the custom torture test with the default values. The only thing I changed was the memory to be tested from 2000 to 16000. Two hours ago the software that came with my Asus Maximus Hero showed the CPU at 77-78c. I thought that was a little high. I just checked it again and the temps are down to about 69-70c. Is this usual? This is the first time I've tried the stress test.

I was worried because I mounted the heat sink a few days before I turned the computer on. I wasn't sure if you need to turn it on right away to get the paste to seat properly (from the heat).

Here is my relevant system info:
i7 4771
Asus Maximus Hero
Cooler Master Hyper Evo with second fan attached.
CM Storm Stryker with the stock fans facing front and 2 additional fans at the bottom.
16GB gskill ram
MSI GTX 770 2GB

Thanks,
Phil
 
Solution
From what i can find that seems to be in the ok range i do not know anyone with this chip but most people i know with 4770k usually say its cool under 80 or if it starts throttling itself.

I expected with the aftermarket heat sink and extra fans I would get better temps. I guess I will let it run the night on prim95 and see what the temps are like in the morning.
