hello, at the moment im stress testing my cpu with prime95, and i just wanna know if these temperatures are real, because they look kinda low compared to the other topics ive seen,
at the moment its running @4.7, 1.28v and cpu rounding at 57-58 degrees

More about : 4790k temperatures

What kind of CPU cooler are you using? Are you sure you have it attached properly?

these are some excellent temperatures at that voltage. There are nothing to worry about. enjoy gaming on your new cpu.

Prime95's default test, Blend, is for testing memory stability, and as it's a cyclic workload, it's inappropriate for CPU thermal testing. Use Small FFT's, which is a steady-state 100% workload, and is the proper test for CPU thermal testing.

You might want to read this: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temp...

From the Guide:

"Thermal Testing @ 100% Workload:

Prime95 Small FFT's is the standard for CPU thermal testing, because it's a steady-state 100% workload. This is the test that Real Temp uses to test sensor movement. Prime95's default test, Blend, is a cyclic workload for testing memory stability, and Large FFT's combines CPU and memory tests. As such, Blend and Large FFT's both have cyclic workloads which are unsuitable for CPU thermal testing. Other stability tests such as Linpack and Intel Burn Test (IBT) have cycles that load all registers with all one's, which is equivalent to a 110% workload, and are also unsuitable for CPU thermal testing. AIDA64 is only recommended for advanced users.

Shown above from left to right: Small FFT's, Blend, Linpack and IBT.

You can see for yourself by using the "Charts" in SpeedFan how these tests create different thermal signatures. On air cooling, thermal saturation is typically reached within 10 minutes, however on liquid cooling, up to 30 minutes may be required. Testing should ideally be conducted at or close to 22C Standard Ambient with your computer clear of desk enclosures or anything that interferes with airflow. Case covers should be open and all fans and circulating pump (if equipped with liquid cooling) at 100% RPM so that temperatures can be noted as the best-case scenario."

Oo will take a look at that one, to the first post i was more worried my temps were to low not to high :)  its custom water loop, anyways thanks
