Hey, today I installed a brand new h100i on my brand new i7 4790k. It's on an asrock z97x killer mobo. In bf4 multiplayer, it only hits around 50 degrees celsius or less on the cores, but in prime 95 small ffts, it can reach upwards of 80 degrees celsius on the cores. This is also at stock speeds. Should I be worrying about this? Also I've fixed an issue where my backplate was installed wrong and didn't line up with the screws behind the cpu and I applied arctic silver 5 after I removed the stock thermal paste.I think that these temps are ok, but I'm just making sure. Also, the prime 95 blend test only reaches about 55 degrees celsius and this is the latest version of prime 95. Any answers would be appreciated!

C0MM4ND3r_CrUnCh,

Do NOT run any versions of Prime95 later than 26.6. Here's why:

Core i 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation CPU's have AVX (Advanced Vector Extension) instruction sets. Recent versions of Prime95, such as 28.5, run AVX code on the Floating Point Unit (FPU) math coprocessor, which produces unrealistically high temperatures. The FPU test in the stability testing utility AIDA64 shows the same results.

Prime95 v26.6 produces temperatures on 3rd and 4th Generation processors more consistent with 2nd Generation, which also have AVX instructions, but do not suffer from thermal extremes due to having a soldered Integrated Heat Spreader and a 35% larger Die.

Please download Prime95 version 26.6 -...

Please download Prime95 version 26.6 - http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot.com/2011/04/prime95-266.html

Run only Small FFT’s for 10 minutes.

Use only Real Temp to measure your Core temperatures, as it was designed specifically for Intel processors: Real Temp - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2089/real-temp-3-70/

Your Core temperatures will test 10 to 20C lower with v26.6 than with v28.5.
