I7-6700k 4.4ghz oc Temps ok?

Stoop14 · Aug 26, 2016

I did a hour run in aida64 and core #2 maxed at 76degrees core #1 was 75. The fan profile on my cpu cooler was set to normal. Are these ok Temps or should I lower my oc. Voltage set to 1.29.

Temps are fine, it was aida64, so chances of the CPU getting that intense load is unlikely, what CPU cooler are you using though?

EDIT: you generally just dont want to run a CPU at that high temps for extended periods, but i will only stress about temps if it gets higher than 80. Especially for an Intel chip that generally runs cooler!

212 evo

ThatAfricanDude · Aug 26, 2016

That explains the high temperature for the overlclock, your in the green dont worry.

EDIT: it's still a great cooler, but its not going to give you jaw dropping temperatures when overclocking

I see ppl with 4.5ghz oc with 212 evo all the time. Is my chip just a silicone lottery dud? Should I lower my oc? Or lower my voltage?

ThatAfricanDude :

You make it sound like the 212 EVO is not a good cooler. Is it not one of the best air coolers? Ive seen it as the standard against what liquid coolers are compared too.

ThatAfricanDude · Aug 26, 2016

Silicone lottery, not all chips overclock as easily, your thermal paste might be giving you trouble though, remove the cooler and re-apply new thermal paste and see if it makes any difference!It's not comfortable temps, but they arent dangerous, first try re applying the paste, if there is no improvement in temperature, and if you are still not comfortable, by all means lower the voltage a bit!

Didn't mean for it to come off that way, for the price the 212 evo is an outstanding cooler, you just cant expect that much from it when overclocking

I replied it last night, put a squirt the size of a grain of rice.

ThatAfricanDude · Aug 26, 2016

And still no improvement in temp? Try adjusting the fan curve a bit, push it to the highest rpm there is just before it gets too loud for your taste, if the temps are still high you unfortunately might just have a bad overclocker on your hands

I would try adjusting the voltage down as far as you can until it becomes unstable. Then bump it up a bit. No need to make more heat than needed.

it's fine if it is while gaming but you should probably buy a better cooler anyways or maybe try change your thermal paste if it's already used too long

Stoop14 · Aug 26, 2016

I dropped the voltage down to 1.26 and put my fan to max (I can barely hear it) and max temp.was 70

ahnilated · Aug 26, 2016

Stoop14 :

Sounds perfect.

Stoop14 · Aug 26, 2016

I dropped my voltage even further to 1.24v but when I run stress test in aida64 it shows the voltage as high as 1.36 what's going on here. Or am I reading it wrong.

Stoop14 · Aug 27, 2016

I upd my OC to 4.5ghz and Temps his 72 is that OK?

ThatAfricanDude · Sep 14, 2016

Stoop14 :

Yes. I will only start being concerned about the temps when they reach 80 or more under load

I7-6700k 4.4ghz oc Temps ok?
