What are safe temps for a Sandy Bridge I7 2600k?

nirrtix · Aug 28, 2016

Idle in windows I am getting around 38-45c

When in a brand new game Mankind Divided I am averaging 55-60c

Is this considered high? I did not run the game long as I did not want to risk it...

the machine is overclocked and I may turn off the overclock if there is an issue, but the fan works i manually set the fan to high and you can hear it blowing...

Those temps are perfectly fine.

Max is 72.6 (see here: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i5/Intel-Core%20i5-2500K%20CM8062300833803.html)

Your temps are fine.

Whats it OC;ed to and if its overclocked those temps seem pretty normal.

nirrtix · Aug 28, 2016

wierd I got a warning at 61.... I adjusted my fan to be more aggressive speedwise...

It is overclocked to 4.4 gigahertz.

I ran the Deus Ex Benchmark from the game it maxed out at 56... should be fine, not sure what the warning was from but I left the fan on the Turbo mode so it is more aggressive at keeping it cool.

nirrtix :

Temps are perfectly fine then : )

sorry about the processor I meant to say 2600k I7...

CryoWolf · Aug 28, 2016

nirrtix :

Still perfectly fine.

COLGeek :

I am sure the numbers are not much different, but i meant to say 2600k... it is the I7 I guess some knew what I meant because I said Sandy Bridge. Sorry about the confusion. I changed the mistake on my part.

What gave the warning? It can probably be changed to a different temp but you are plenty safe with higher temps.

I think it was the Motherboard temperature program in the AISuite called Thermal Radar (ASUS) I installed it last night as I had a power outage and at post it gave "Unable to overclock" error. The second boot it seemed to shut down. The third and since it has booted just fine...

I think it is a multiple tiered problem... my Coolermaster Hyper EVO is kinda slow to spin up fast enough... but I have read after a power outage or the computer having the power cut while on with ASUS motherboards will cause that issue.

I do not mind replacing the chip and motherboard... even if I have to buy another windows copy (though that will suck) however, I just prefer not to... it would be hard to just replace the chip as they do not make chips for this socket anymore.

It is the same: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-2600K%20CM8062300833908.html

In Deus ex human revolution it seems to run hot at 70c... is it a bad idea to turn the fan to max all the time?

COLGeek · Aug 28, 2016

Not if you don't mind the noise.

nirrtix · Aug 28, 2016

COLGeek :

no I do not mind the noise... it is jsut that it is reaching 70c in Deus Ex Mankind Divided. I am not sure if the Thermal Radar program is not helping much, that or maybe the fan for some reason is not working well anymore.

COLGeek · Aug 28, 2016

Have you tried dropping your core voltage a small amount (to reduce the heat)? Even if the CPU hits 70c, it will be okay. It will also throttle itself (get slower) to prevent damage if it gets too hot.

nirrtix · Aug 29, 2016

ok well i was not sure what would happen if it would burn up or what... I simply turned up the minimum speeds of the fan, it is a little noisier but hey that is fine... hard to hear with games going anyway.
