i7 4770K high temp

iZero · May 28, 2014

Hi,

I have problem with my cpu temp, the temp between 50-60 if its idle, 60-70 during gaming.

I try to change Thermal Compound and still same problem.

I start think to change intel cooler with new one, but the main problem is I use corsair vengeance ram, so its impossible to install cooler like CM Hyper 212 evo.

now, I think to use liquid cooler, NZXT Kraken or Corsair, start compare between Kraken x60 with Corsair H100i, Kraken is better but is not compatible with my case.

any advice for good cooler or solution for temp problem?

my build:
CPU: Intel i7 4770K
MOBO: Asus maximus vi hero
SSD: Samsung evo 250GB
GPU: Sapphire r9 290x tri-x
Case: Cooler Master Haf X
Power Supply: NZXT 1000W

No need to worry. Those temps are totally fine/normal.
Sad thing about the CM Hyper 212 EVO, since it's a beast cooler, and simply easy to install - cheap.
But again, there's no need to worry.

What cpu cooler? Any overclock? What cooler fan rpm's? What Vcore? What psu voltages?

Download and run HWInfo - Sensors and post the results - 3 screenshots on TinyPic or similar.

fjaesbog :

that answer isn't going to cut it, we need to know what games he is playing to get those temps and also if he may have done an overclock.

Have you overclocked your 4770K and what games do you get these temps?

i7Baby · May 28, 2014

I think and hope that was sarcasm.

fjaesbog · May 28, 2014

In the end, those temperatures aren't near critical, at all. So my answer is still valid. That i7 has a maxmum operating temperature of 100c. And he's 30c below that, so again, there's no need to worry.
He mentioned no overclocking, and he has the intel cooler > Stock cooler.

I wouldn't call 60C on idle 'normal'

unknownofprob · May 28, 2014

i7Baby :

what was?

@ fjaesbog; your answer won't help unless we know what he is doing at the time, 60C idle is not what I would call normal. I didn't see anywhere he listed "no overclocking".

fjaesbog · May 28, 2014

It's a pretty small boost from 60-70 during load - gaming, so im assuming he's idle 50c. But a screendump would definitely help us show a little more detailed view of the situation. Still i don't see anything bad about this since it's a stock cooler.

unknownofprob · May 28, 2014

but where did he mention no overclocking? It is nowhere on this thread.

fjaesbog · May 28, 2014

I wrote no overclocking, and what i meant by that was > He didn't mention that he did or did not overclock his CPU.

unknownofprob · May 28, 2014

"He mentioned no overclocking, and he has the intel cooler > Stock cooler.".......'He mentioned' sounds like he said it. I don't know what your trying to say, But i'll leave it at that. I'l wait for the OP to give the info we need to help.

fjaesbog · May 28, 2014

I see your point, it should've been 'He didn't mention', sorry.
And yes, we'll just wait for the OP

fjaesbog :

no issue, just wondering

Can you post a screen dump of the CPU temperatures?
Idle and during gaming.

i7Baby · May 28, 2014

there should be 3 screendumps from HWInfo - Sensors. That one doesn't give all the info we'd like

iZero · May 29, 2014

i7Baby :

I don't know what did you mean, I take snapshot for all what showing in HWiNFO

i7Baby · May 29, 2014

Tht's good.

Your power supply is working OK. And graphics card.. You RAM has the right voltage.

Your CPU Voltage is OK and cpu fan rpm is OK.

That leaves the cpu cooler. I gather you've got the stock Intel cooler?
With an i7 4770k we recommend using a custom cooler eg coolermaster hyper 212 evo ($30).

But if you can't afford a custom cooler and you intend to never overclock, just stick with the stock cpu cooler.

You have to remove the cooler, clean the thermal paste off the cooler block and cpu Use iso propyl alcohol), then put new thermal paste (eg Arctic Silver - just a pea size drop) on and put the cooler back on. There's a fair chance your cooler is loose on its mount and the thermal paste has dried out.
