I have my i5 6600k clocked at 3.5 Ghz with enabled Turbo. I have cooler Hyper Evo 212x. In gaming it goes to 80c, im scared, is it normal for gaming, or my rig has failure?

Kriptonac,

The first and most obvious question to ask is, what is your ambient temperature?

Ambient affects all computer temperatures. Here's the temperature conversions and a short scale:

Cx9/5+32=F ... or ... F-32/9x5=C ... or a change of 1C = a change of 1.8F

30.0C = 86.0F Hot
29.0C = 84.2F
28.0C = 82.4F
27.0C = 80.6F
26.0C = 78.8F Warm
25.0C = 77.0F
24.0C = 75.2F
23.0C = 73.4F
22.0C = 71.6F Norm ... or ... 22.2C = 72.0F
21.0C = 69.8F
20.0C = 68.0F
19.0C = 66.2F
18.0C = 64.4F Cool

Ambient temperature is a huge variable. We see Threads posted here from people all over the world living in very different climatic regions, where their computers may not be in a thermally...

It seems like too high :) May be that is not failure. It could be just that you dont have good airflow and cooler does not get enough fresh air and overall case temperature is high. Is your case good ventilated? Does it sits near heating device or furnace?

No it's still in safe temperatures. But you might wanna check the airflow of your case.

If it goes beyond that to 9x/1xxºC than we'd might have a problem and your CPU would start to throttle, but everything is fine as it is right now.

If anything, try to increase the quality of the air flow inside your Case.

Ambient temperature is a huge variable. We see Threads posted here from people all over the world living in very different climatic regions, where their computers may not be in a thermally controlled environment, so ambient temperature can range anywhere from 15 to 35C.

If your ambient temperature is up around 30c, then that might explain your Core temperatures, but if your ambient temperature is somewhere near normal, then something is definitely not right for an i5 6600K at stock settings with a CM Hyper 212 EVO.

Here's the recommended operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)
25C Cool

Core temperatures in the mid 70's are safe, so you don't really want to exceed 80.

Since you're already reaching 80 during gaming, which is typically not a very CPU intensive workload, then you need to find out what the Core temperatures are when running a proper thermal test.

Click on the link above that manddy123 provided and give it a read. Pay close attention to Sections 11, 12 and 13, which will walk you through performing a thermal test so you can find out what your baseline Core temperatures are during a steady 100% workload. Once we know that, then we can much more effectively troubleshoot the problem.

Ok i found problem, some noobs wheere i bought PC not attached all 4 screws to motherboard (RETARDS...) i found screws in box and placed it, replaced thermal paste (cooler master one) now in prima95 test and games in full load it not going over 67-70 :) Tnx for help guys
