Hi

i have just set up my new build with new thermal paste and a coolermaster 212 evo cooler for the CPU.

The CPU is a I7-4790k

At idle my cpu is at 25-30C
at 100% full load it maxes to 80C

is this safe and ok for my CPU?

More about : cpu 85c 100 full load

The maximum junction temperature on Ivy Bridge was 105C but Intel reduced that a bit for Haswell, don't remember if it was 98C ot 102C but if you are going to overclock, you obviously do not want to get anywhere near that.

80C is a generally safe core temperature but at the upper end of what most overclockers feel comfortable with.

Less than 70C core temperature under load is a safe area many OCers like to be in - very low likelihood of causing any damage to the chip.

The 80C you read is the max package (IHS) temperature.

I would not recommend 80 degrees. Reinstall the cooler put a pea of paste on the centre of the CPU and screw down the Hyper 212 EVO. I wouldnt recommend OC'ing at all with a hyper 212 evo but some do and find it great. Personally I have a NHU14S which is nearly triple the price but a beast cooler. I have my i5 4690k OC'd to 4.4ghz with temps of 60 on full load.

NO IT IS NOT SAFE! TAKE THAT OFF AND REAPPLY IT IMMEDIATELY

As long as it stays under 80 degrees its going to be safe :)

His is at 90 degrees, it isnt safe.

I've not seen the picture and you're right , 90s aren't safe.

try HWmonitor , temps might not be 100% accurate on the program you're using.

Your CPU v core is too high. Lower it in your BIOS to 1.2v and turn off adaptive voltage to offset mode if you have it turned on

ok , i lowered v core to 1.2v but i couldn't find adaptive voltage on the bios
my temperature is now 70-75c full load , a bit better.

is that good enough and safe for my CPU?
