I'm looking for some H80i GT+i5 4690K temps/users to compare to try and gauge how I'm performing.

My ambient temp is roughly 20C, CPU idle is 30-35C. Gaming temps are 60C peaks, average 45C and 55C peak if using the pumps performance mode.

Water temp usually gets up to stable a of 30C by the evening after running the machine all day and usually 40C under load.

4690k is running at 4.0Ghz, 1.120v

Not too sure, but probably. The more recent CPUs run a lot hotter, but also cooler do to their performance increases and efficiency, but I get around 60c on an i5-4590, so you're doing a lot better than me, even with the OC. And most people tend to get around 70c when overclocked at around 4.5GHz, so you're either on par, or a bit under. You can keep clocking it up if you're...

The temperatures, voltage and clock speed all seem pretty normal, I don't have an h80i, but on most 4690k's you can get around 4.5GHz on 1.3-ish volts (If you're lucky) and around 75c. So everything seems normal.

I know you asked for other H80i users, but the h80i is quite close to a high-end air cooler, and people attain similar temperatures, voltages and clock speeds on that.

Edit: If anything, the temperatures are really good while gaming, around 50-60c is generally quite normal, and I get that on 3.7GHz with an air cooler. So nice job!

Hey thanks. So is 60C while gaming actually considered performance cooling on the Haswell's or any of the newer generation cpu's? It's been a while since I upgraded now but I came from having the core 2 duo's and quad core Q6600 and I don't remember what was considered good temps on those.

Do the Haswell's inherently run hotter than their predecessors?

You can keep clocking it up if you're comfortable with it, around 1.3V at 4.5-4.6GHz seems like you could get with your 4690k
