Are these temps high for an AIO?

BruhLovin · Jan 19, 2017

I'm currently using a 4690k. I'm seeing here so far it turbos to 3.9Ghz.
I've run a stress test thus far via Prime 95 and seeing here the temps reach about 50-70 at 100% full load via CAM.
The AIO or water cooler I'm using is ID-Cooling's Frostflow 240L

Considering it's a 27mm rad with twin fans and no major OC your temps are a little high.
Have you made any other voltage changes in Bios.?
P95 is not the best Stress tester and will torture your CPU pushing temps to the MAX.
I have seen 4.6GHz on that CPU with a H100 around the same temps.

It would appear the tubing to the rad is detachable so check you do not have Air in the loop.

Certain versions of P95 dont get alone with intel processors as well. Try running something like intel burn tests, or you other choice stress test.

What about Cinebench?

Havent used it personally, but if your processor is under enough load for an extended period of time, it should work.

The main demand for P95 is the fact it pushes your system above and beyond what you would normally be capable of. If its P95 stable, its really stable.

Download HWMonitor and AIDA64 and put them side by side on your desktop.
In AIDA64, run the stress test from the Tools menu and check boxes for CPU ,FPU and cache. HWMonitor will provide plenty of information regarding temps and voltages during the test.
It is not as harsh and you can provide a link here for scrutiny if your wish.
AIDA64 also provides testing for other sub systems.

Depends on many other factors like what kind of case you are using, the fan setup on the radiator, the speed of those fans and the temperature of the room the PC is in. All of those things need to be take into consideration. Those could be perfectly normal temps if you are in a warm room to begin with, the rad only has two fans in pull and your case is a cramped uATX with like only one or two fans. Also, if you are using only two fans and you installed them in "push" config, you might want to switch them to pull. AIOs are really designed to run in pull when there are fans on only one side.

Thanks for the details. Room is a bit warm I'd say 35c earlier. I'm turning on the A/C if that somehow affects it.
I need to set them to Push since it's on an NZXT S340 Elite.

I'm actually, running a stress test for Aida 64 now. I'm about 30 mins. I'm seeing more accurate temps and better temps if you will compared to Prime95. So far it's 100% load but it's not going over 50c.
Edit: How long should I run Aida64?

30mins is more than enough and at those temps your good to go. You have more overhead on the CPU if needed and can tweak your Bios for more performance.

Final question. So all temps are a green? I see it average 43-49c.

Ideal temperatures are 10-15C above ambient room temperature at idle and 60-65C under load. If temps are MAX 50C under load then your well within thermal limits.

So the rad is mounted on the front of the case and you are using the rad fans as the case's intake fans as well? The rear fan is an exhaust? And all the hot air from the rad is being blown into your case? While 70c isn't terrible, it could be much better if you adjust the case air flow. Have you considered using the rear and (if you have one) the top fan as the intakes and the front fans as pull/exhaust? While unconventional compared to other cases, it might help with the CPU temps. That front panel looks quite restrictive either way. But, it is always better to send the hot air out of the case and pull fresh cool air in. That is if my assumption about your case fan setup is correct. If not, disregard.
