4790k Temp too high at stock with Kraken X61?

shotgun10ga · Apr 26, 2016

So, Im not sure why but i am running at 100% stock settings and im getting 60C on my 4790k paired with a X61. I am not sure why its only running at 4.2 ghz, but thats not a concern to me. Are my temps fine at stock? Sorry, EDIT: i am using prime 95 version 26.6 Small FFT

I assume you mean idle, the temps are fine, but should be lower with a aftermarket cooler :/ no crashes?

No i mean load, is load ok? Is my X61 defective?

AUnlikelyPotatoe · Apr 26, 2016

Oh, load?? If so yes, those are good temps. The 4790k is rated at like 98c or something ridiculous, usually you run out of usable voltage before you get there.

A friend of mine had this issue with his i5-4690k. Make sure the heat sink is on there alright, because it might be a little bit lopsided. Also, how did you apply your thermal paste? There are some differences in application techniques and amounts of thermal paste used, and as it turns out, a small drop of paste directly in the middle is the most efficient method.

I put a small line in the middle to an un cooked grain of rice.

So under load my temps are normal? I am thinking about switching to Noctua's NH-D15.

AUnlikelyPotatoe · Apr 26, 2016

No, those temps are fine, the stock heatsink runs like that idle

Ok cool thanks! And if i disable turbo boost, would i see a performance Drop in games?

AUnlikelyPotatoe · Apr 26, 2016

Depends what games, and what gpu

AUnlikelyPotatoe :

I have a 980. But will loosing 200mhz be a huge loss?

AUnlikelyPotatoe · Apr 26, 2016

Not as far as I know, if you want to test fps in a game with and without turbo boost if you want.
