Hello,

I think my CPU is too hot, under BIOS it rise to 50 Celsius and i show you picture from HWInfo64
This temperatures under PlayerUnkowBattleground all ultra config. I have cooler master hyper 212 evo heaters on the CPU and the cpu was pasted 1 month ago.

Picture HWINFO64 under gaming:

Plus info:
Under AIDA64 Stress test the CPU core temperature goes 99 Celsius, i think it is critical but i dont know :)

So my question should i bring back this CPU untill warranty or the temperatures abowe are normal?:)



Thanks,

Something you might try, the 212 evo has a thumb screw in the center where the two mounting braces cross under the cooling fins. Try tightening that a bit, it will increase mounting pressure to the cpu for better contact and heat transfer. Otherwise you're looking at a low end air cooler paired with a relatively fast and somewhat higher temp cpu (4 cores, highest clock speed in the haswell line, hyper threading also increases heat a bit) and your ambient temps are fairly warm.

80c isn't reaching thermal throttling yet but given the cpu isn't overclocked you may need a better cooler. If your room were cooler, closer to the rough average of 22c many cpu's/coolers are tested at your temps would be closer to 75c which isn't bad under full...

To better understand if you're overheating or that the temps are well within margin, can you please pass on your full system's specs inclusive of your case and OS? There is also the other matter of your ambient air temps. I'm somewhat certain you might need to reinstall your CPU cooler and make sure it's seated properly but that minimum number indicates that your case is suffering from a lack of proper airflow.

Well i pasted 3 times in a row the CPU so the cooler must be seated well.

i have nzxt 440 razer edition house with 5 fans inside
gigabyte Z97 gaming 3 motherboard
I7 4790K CPU
msi GTX 1070 gaming Z graphic card
16GB corsair vengeance pro ram 2400 mhz
Corsair 750W gold

Hotter ambient room temps means more work for the cooler. The 212 evo may be struggling a bit.
