Recently, I managed to find an i7 4770 new along with a mobo at a very decent price. I don't know if the 4770 is just a hot processor by nature or something, I need some help here. I currently use it with an Hyper TX3 cooler, the temps are as follows:
Idle: 38 c
Web browsing: 45-55c
Now the problem is with some games, at Rise Of The Tomb Raider reached 69c at a spot where the game puts the processor at a 100% to load the next area or whatever and wasn't for too long. It worries me that it could go even higher at CPU intensive games. Now these are MSI Afterburner temp readings, which I think are accurate enough.
I have a GTX 1060, 8GB of RAM DDR3 1600 and a 600 watt EVGA PSU, 2 SSDs and 1 mechanical HDD.
I jumped from the i5 2400 to the i7 4770, the i5 2400 was really cool and never got too hot, 60c max, even on hot days. This 4770 is reaching high temps I believe? Should I change the thermal paste? I used a white one I had which says "high performance", I don't know lol.
