High temp Overclocking i5 4690k

Pitchblease · Oct 15, 2016

I have I5 4690k and Maximus VI gene

and i overclocked it at 4.6ghz with 1.28v

and im getting at 87 deg Celcius max and 78 minimum using Intel Burn test (stress testing )

is it a good overclock ? what should i do ? should i lower to make temp go lower ?

i have custom water cooling

That's quite warm for a custom loop at only 1.28v. How much rad space do you have? Have you tried gaming? What temps does it hit in your favorite games?

Those temps are a little higher than I would like to see and higher than I would expect with a custom loop. You should be able to run at 70C or so with a custom loop and that vcore. In reality, you probably won't see those temps in actual usage, so I would try some extended gaming and check the temps while in game.

i don't quite get it . in AI Suite 3 it says that my cpu temp were on 63-64 while running the test . but when im looking at realtemp gt and hwmonitor it says over 80+

Probably an error on RealTemp. Not all monitoring softwares are accurate on all motherboards. You can confirm this by using another one to compare. Try HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner. If they confirm temps are below 70C, you're good to go.

Try MSI Afterburner and see what you get there.

Ok, so your temps are running too high. Check the waterblock mounting and make sure you don't have too much or too little thermal paste. Experiment with pump speed and increase the radiator fan speeds if possible.
