7700k stock reaching 90+ degrees under load

Lojalfan · Aug 6, 2017

Hai there
I've recently bought a new gaming rig, so as usual I wanted to check if there are any thermal problems. I opened FurMark to stress the GPU and Prime95 max heat preset to stress the CPU. After 10 minutes GPU hit 70*C and CPU hit over 90*C. I'm using Hyper 212X single fan and thermal paste that was provided with the cooler in box. I have Arctic mx4 laying somewhere in my house. Do you think it will reduce the temps to atleast 80*C?

MrN1ce9uy · Aug 6, 2017

What version of Prime95?

rchris · Aug 6, 2017

Changing he thermal paste isn't going to make any significant difference. The issue is in the testing or how you've fastened the CPU cooler down. Make sure it's evenly tight on the CPU.

What kind of cpu temps do you get in games or in another stress test like aida64? The latest version of prime 95 with avx is in no way indicative of the temps you will get say gaming or in other mainstream tasks. I only use older versions of prime with no avx or aida64 for cpu stress testing.

MrN1ce9uy · Aug 6, 2017

Prime95 v26.6 is the one I use that does not use AVX instruction set. It should give a lower temp than versions that do use AVX.

Ok I'll run Aida64 and respond with the results here

Deliding your CPU will make 20°C difference. If you want to delid it safely use Deliding tool. For example : Rockit 88.

Lojalfan · Aug 6, 2017

By the way I've set the AVX offset to 0. I thought that 212 would handle this CPU at stock when running AVX. Do I need to lower that?

Lojalfan · Aug 6, 2017

I've just stopped AIDA64 because one of the cores reached 99* I don't think that's normal.

MrN1ce9uy · Aug 6, 2017

What is your vcore voltage reaching? Your cooler might not be properly seated and/or you might have too much/too little thermal paste.

Lojalfan · Aug 6, 2017

Vcore was 1.240 running aida64. I think I'm going to reapply thermal paste tomorrow.

Just run it at default and leave the thing alone before you brake it .

MrN1ce9uy · Aug 6, 2017

That's a good suggestion, except he didn't say whether or not he hit over 90C in normal use. Using an aftermarket cooler some people can have issues with the cooler either not being adequate or not being installed properly.

He said it was under full load in prime so my question is why is he using prime ? What are the temps at idle ? how about in game ?

Lojalfan :

Reapply thermal paste and stop using benchmarking programs . Is this computer for a client or personal use ?

I havent heard one person ask what the room temperature ?

rchris · Aug 6, 2017

Even if it's over 100 degrees F (which I doubt), it sounds to me like he still has some issues.

Lojalfan · Aug 6, 2017

I just played full game of csgo and max temp was 79*c. At idle it's just under 40 degrees.

Do you have the fan going the right way for you hyper evo ?

Did you do anything in the bios ?

mdd1963 · Aug 6, 2017

Some idle at higher temps than others, 40C would be on the high side, assuming 24C-26C ambients...

A few 7700K samples have been stubbornly warm, and, require delidding to get into control, apparently. It'll be up to the OP to decide if current gaming load temps warrant the investment/risk to cpu of the delidder tool....

Lojalfan · Aug 6, 2017

Yea I disabled avx offset, enabled virtualization and all c states, my mobo doesn't support oc. I don't even know how can you mount the fan wrong way on a 212. I don't know my room temps, but I think they are under 30. I'll run GTA 5 for about an hour and update you guys on the temps.

Reset your bios to default and put the cpu fan to max. Under 30c Thats still a hot room.do you have A/C ?

MrN1ce9uy · Aug 6, 2017

Before you de-lid please get a better cooler. De-lidding should only be necessary if you are wanting to OC.
