High cpu temp on stock cooling 4790k

litwicki23 · Nov 7, 2015

Hello. I have 4790K with stock cooler. During Black Ops 3 and Crysis3 my cpu temps are 90-100c. I think i mounted good cooler.
Is this normal for stock cooler or not?

Cpu is on turbo clock 4 ghz - 4,2 ghz. And on 4,2 ghz i have 90c+ sometimes it will spike to 100c during each places in game.

My case is Cooler Master Centurion 590.

Playing Crysis 3 and Black Ops 3 giving me 90c-100C. But playing Dying Light temps are 77-81C max. < weird >
Is this something with cooler ?

70-80C would be normal. 90-100C likely means the heatsink was not installed quite correctly.

It does not take much for the push-pins to not go clean through the motherboard and fail to deliver sufficient contact force.

Ok but if heatsing was not installed correctly so why in Dying Light my temps are normal? But not in Crysis 3 and Black Ops 3

Well,

Nothing new with that processor and stock cooler. Don't know for black ops but crysis 3 is very hard on my cpu too. Generally some games are demanding on cpu the others aren't. My suggestion is if you intend to use i7 4790k for gaming put some good aftermarket cooler on it.

Best luck and good gaming!

Is safe to play with that high temps?

At 100C, you are only a few degrees away from thermal trip/shutdown. Continuously running the CPU near the threshold at which it calls quits to limit potential damage is unlikely to do any good to its lifespan.

No it isn't. First try to reaply thermal paste between cpu and cooler. If there is no change go and buy aftermarket one and you will notice the difference.
Best luck!
