Yesterday got my new 4790k with sabertooth mark 2 z97 motherboard

4790k cooled by hyper evo 212 with 2 120 mm fans push and pull

Is this temps ok ?

33 c in idle per core
34 c package idle
RealBench_v2.2 3 hours had like 25 c degrees in room temp. Its very hot days here in Latvia now.
71 c on max core on load
73 c on package on full load

olafgarten,

Respectfully, you appear to be misinformed, but don't feel bad because you're not the first one. Intel's specifications are about as clear as mud.

It's important to use the correct terminology, because it keeps other readers from becoming confused about an already misunderstood and highly confusing topic. Once readers become misinformed and it takes root, it's very difficult for us to correct it.

Intel's Tcase specification does not directly correlate to Core temperature. Tcase correlates to CPU temperature and Tjunction correlates to Core temperature. There's a...

When AMD or Intel say a max temp, they are being generous as to not have you *Truly* fry your chip, you have some decent headroom there. DO you render though because when temps stay high for a long period of time, it will eventually bring the lifespan of the chip down with it (naturally).

and how long do these renders typically take? hitting a really high temp for a minute or so wont really have lasting effects. But for 6 hours, (all cores at 100%?), anything over 76C or so would start worry me from a longevity standpoint.

you should be fine so long as you keep an eye on the temps, this is what these chips are designed to do after-all.

Intel's Tcase specification does not directly correlate to Core temperature. Tcase correlates to CPU temperature and Tjunction correlates to Core temperature. There's a 5C difference between CPU temperature and Core Temperature.

Core temperature runs 5C higher than CPU temperature. Whatever the Tcase specification is for a given processor variant, just add 5C to get the corresponding value for Core temperature.

It's too bad that Intel just doesn't come right out and say so in simple terms in their specifications. Go figure ... lawyers managing engineers. Also, Package temperature is not an Intel term.

If you want to discuss Intel processor temperatures, then we want you to be informed. We can use all the help we can get.

Please read this Sticky: Intel Temperature Guide: - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help.

Thanks,

CT :sol:

Actually, with devil's canyon i have read that due to the new TIM, the difference is about 8 degrees, I was referring to CPU temperature when I said package temp.
