im running aida 64 stress test and im getting 77c on load with a 4670k is this normal for with stock heatsink?

while running aida 64 stress test max temps are

78

78
70
 
Yes.
It's hard to be specific since your ambient room temperature and case cooling also factors in. Nor do we even know how you have fan control setup through the motherboard software (many CPU cooler tests just run at full speed).

Keep in mind the CPU doesn't even throttle until almost 105degC and 77C is not only way below that but also a stress test which you'd never get too in the real world. The closest you'd get would be converting video otherwise in games it's likely to be in the 60's at most.

*Having said that, if you prefer a QUIETER cooler the Noctua NH-U12S is probably the perfect choice. The CM Hyper 212 EVO is much cheaper but also louder, so sits between stock and the Noctua in terms of noise.

The stock fan does get a bit annoying under load.

for stress test running for just an hour or so(esp. with prime 95) it is normal to see 80+ temps

theyr are called 'stresstests for a reason'. anyway to find you temps under normal condition/load i suggest you use uniengine heaven benchmark

hope this helped!

I agree... you can lower temps for 15-20° even with a cheap hyper 212 evo, extending the CPU's life, and allowing for overclocking. You may consider other better but not as cheap options depending on how much overclock you want.
