Are my temps good?

LtHeckard · Nov 24, 2014

I finally got my i5 4670K in the mail today, I upgraded from my old Athlon X4 750K.

I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler without OC

CPU idling temp: 37C
Under load; cinebench CPU burn: average 65C at 100% usage

I don't know squat about Intel processors, this is my first. are my temps good?

If you are talking core temps, Intel lists the max tCase temp as 72.72C. That is measured with a t/c embedded under the heat spreader. Core temps are usually a few degrees warmer. Probably ~77C. Here is a guide for Intel chips: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html
Yes, your temps are good.

Core Temp 0.99.8 says that my Tj. Max is 100C.

And, your point is?

Does Tj. Max mean that's when it will throttle? Does it mean that my PC will turn off when it reaches that temp?

That is the temp that starts the throttle process. It will begin to slow its clock speed until its temp is safe. It is a way of protecting itself from destruction. That was explained in that link I sent:

4th Gen i-Core
----------------
Standard Ambient = 22C
Tcase (CPU temp) = 74C
CPU / Core offset + 5C
Tjunction (Core temp) = 79C
Tj Max (Throttle temp) = 100C

tCase is the max safe temp as measured under the heat spreader by Intel. Core temps are usually ~5C higher.
