[SOLVED] I7 7800k cooling

Solution


I would advise against Intel Burn Test, pretty sure that's another one of those programs that gives the CPU too much voltage resulting in higher temps and inaccurate results. At least that was my last experience with it about a year ago with my 4770K but maybe it's been fixed?

I'd use Prime95 Version 26.6, Small FFT's for 30 mins.

Monitor the temps with HWmonitor, if it exceeds 90C then stop the test.
