Just bought a new PC a week ago with this CPU(i7 7700k)
Got Noctua NH-U12S with it.
Now the temps look a bit not where they need to be in.
When the CPU clocked to 4.5Ghz
It gets to 83c Max
Tried to lower the frequency to 4.2Ghz
Still Max 77c
Now i dont know what to really do about it because i cant change my cooler right now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks to anyone who Replys.
Average voltage when frequency 4.2
Is 1.210 something like that.

Mine, though it's on water loop, runs 80c at 4.8ghz on prime95 version 26.6 with 1.340 volts. At 5.0ghz I have 1.370 and it goes up to 86-87 so I don't run that because anything above 80 sustained is dangerous. Try it out with that program and see what you get with the second testing option. Should say something about "most heat" or "thermal test." That's been the most reliable tell of load for thermal purposes I've seen.

Don't exceed 80c or 1.4volts. Those are the danger limits that cause damage if you exceed these and sustain it for more than a couple minutes. I wouldn't sustain at 80 either but 79 should be fine. Even then you probably won't do a whole lot that would keep you at those temps anyways.

Hi,

I run 7700k at stock with Noctua NH-U9S at max 74C (make sure your PC rear-end vent is sucking the air out of the case (it helped me by some 4C). So I think your temps are just fine...
