CPU Overclocking Temps ?!?

Somthingsick909 · Dec 2, 2015

Hello So I have a i7-4770k stock at 3.5ghz and i recently overclocked it to 4.0ghz and i have an aftermarket cpu fan I have the CoolerMaster v6 GT cpu cooler. Im using software like Core Temps and Open HardwareMonitor to check my cpu temps and all 4 cpu cores vary in temps but are generally in the 30-35C range while idling. Is this good for my overclock im new to overclocking as i never really needed to do it in the past so didnt feel the need to do it and i just used the msi oc engine to overclock i believe it just changed the cpu speed and everything else in the bios settings are set to default. Again im new to this so im trying to take it slow I dont know if those are good temps and am scared to go further because i dont really know much about the complications that could come when overclocking so any help would be nice thank you.

Idle temps mean almost nothing, load temps are what count.
Use intel burn test and see what the load temps are, anything under 70C I would call good.

This is where Agent God puts the new version and everyone links from there. While you can get it from sites like MajorGeeks I like going right to the source and getting it.

Cool ill download it right now currently the highest load ive done is streaming through obs and playing h1z1 while on teamspeak and webbrowsing and this is the temps im getting while doing all that https://gyazo.com/6d76143c515df3f210c555dc5807b6d7

Those temps seem alright for that workload. The stress temps will be higher, but thats so your actual load temps never reach that level.

So here are the temps I was getting during the test
Normal: https://gyazo.com/c6f4cb2519eeb621f68f8c9177c5e780
High: https://gyazo.com/550fe5dd9baa60f442c24fd58d0b0d21
Very High: https://gyazo.com/a615fd45228050d494f110bc66ba54be
Maximum: https://gyazo.com/f45d936abca12084e5b88470708448ae

Also for maximum and very high it did it 70c on the first and last core but for less then a second maybe once or twice and went right back down

I would say that is acceptable.

Somthingsick909 · Dec 3, 2015

Cool so do you think i should overclock any further or just try and stay where im at unless i were to get better cooling

Gam3r01 · Dec 3, 2015

You can push it further, 70C is still a safe temp. You will know when you go to far (system crash)

Cool thanks for the help man !
