Hey guys so i just got myself an i7 7700k because it was cheaper by 20€ than the ryzen 7 1700 an cheaper by 37€ than ryzen 7 1700x and since I mostly play games or watch a films/youtube and play games(at the same time) I went for that one... I have NZXT kraken x62 and when running aida64 stabilty test my cpu temp fluctuates from 68C to 82C (max) usually is around 75-78C, when i play games like gta V or witcher 3 cpu temps are 58-60C in witcher and in gta V it fluctuates from 56C to 64C. My OC is 4.7ghz 1.2V. Also have to mention that atm my room temp is 30C, could that be why it goes up to 82C in aida64? or is it because of intels garbage TIM?

edit: i am suing thermal grizzly kryonaut on the cooler, mobo is asus z270a prime, VID in CAM software in HWmonitor shows 1.23-1.28V tho and never go below 1.2 even when i set bios core voltage to 1.18 at 4.5ghz

56c to 65c under normal stress is ok, mine never goes above 55c.
I have a Corsair H100i V2 cooler, set at roughly 40% capacity.

In your situation, the ambient temp is already at 30C, so I would try leaving the
side panel open, to see, if it help's.

Also, if there's no real need to OC, then don't !
Has for your question, why temps go up to 82c, your doing a stress test, it's rather self explanatory !
Keep temps at no more then 64C , and have fun.

Your temperatures are fine, particularly considering a 30c. ambient temperature.
Intel will not slow down or shut off to prevent damage until it reaches around 100c.

How do you have the radiator mounted?
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.

I think AIDA may use avx instructions which are particularly heat generating.
See if your motherboard bios has a setting for AVX offset. That will reduce the multiplier when AVX instructions are present.

Al in all, you need do nothing

Blame the pigeon poop that intel uses.
Some 7700k`s are "good" straight out of the factory, but also some are pretty bad.
Mine was pretty bad getting close to 94 degree celcius with prime95 @ stock clocks...

Did a delid and swapped the pigeon poop with liquid metal from thermal grizzly and used same as you (kryonaut) between the heatspread and cooler and tada! Now I never go past 62 degree celcius @ 5 GHz, 1.295 Vcore.

Hope intel will learn that doing what they are doing using thermal paste only makes some ppl jump the from blue team to red since atleast AMD uses solder.

Thanks fo the answers guys, one last thing i noticed that my xmp was off (i have 3200mhz ram since it was cheap anyway i went like why not, 10€ more than 2800mhz, its corsair vengeance LPX), when i turend it on in aida64 my cpu cores temps went up by almost 6 degrees up to 88C occasionally on cores in aida and CPU was 70C (before it showed CPU alone at 66 most of the time). I was also thinking about getting it delided but if it breaks i cant really RMA it. also in novigrad (got there just to test it) which made my cpu usage jump from 50-88% when moving around the city, my CPU temp went all the way to 77 there and then back to 60 and kept jumping around mostly being around 68-72C, that normal? probably if i disabled XMP it would fix it but i bought 3200mhz ram for reasons...
Also my idle temps without xmp are 39C with XMP and my ram running how it should its around 44.

That soldering enables the 1800X to clock all cores exactly how high, compared to it's stock 4.0 Turbo? 4.05 GHz, if lucky? :)

Yeah, thanks i actually just removed the sidepanel (never had to before, not even on my 4.7ghz i5 4690k) and temps went down by like 4C, probably need better exhaust fan. Right now 4.7ghz at 1.18V and ram is at 2600mhz during games with open sidepanel it never reaches above 61C, at least in most games, in Novigrad witcher 3 it goes to 67C but thats almost 90% usage on cpu and doesnt last that long, as soon as i get out its back to below 60C temps.

eventually i will have to go and delid it, when i will need that extra power i will delid to get rid of that toothpaste and use proper thermal compound. but for now just in case (i tend to have bad luck with these things) i wont so i can RMA if anything happens to it
