Temps for 4770k ?

[AndyDel]

Recently upgraded my CPU, HSF, Mobo and RAM.

Was wondering if i'm getting the sort of temperatures i should expect at stock speed, i've been out of the hardware 'game' for quite a while so i'd have no idea.

Kit:

- Intel Core i7-4770K
- Asus Z87-PRO Z87
- Corsair Hydro Series H80
- Silverstone FT01

Idle:



100% Load (20 mins of Prime95 Small FFTs);

That's about right for an i7. Nothing to worry about.

Shouldn't be expecting better out of a H80 with a 4770K then?

Depends on quite a few variables. Fan speed on the H80? Those temps are pretty much what I've seen with other stock i7's and a h80 on quiet mode(This is default IIRC) and are you overclocked? Those will 2 will have the biggest effect.

Aye, just as Skull says.
Even adding or removing a FAN to your case or changing the speed of the current ones can result in a few degrees difference.
I would say till 70 you are all righ (under full load).

Thanks chaps, well last 1-2 days i've been having a tinker. I also have a Silverstone FT02 arriving this week, decided to retire the FT01.

I installed AI Suite III for the Asus board, i then updated BIOS and used the software to OC it.

I used the most modest OC tuning, which push it to 4.2ghz and i noticed temperatures were around what i had at Stock. Which was bizarre. During their 'extreme' tuning it went to 4.8ghz, i didn't feel comfortable with that though.

I decided to reset the BIOS settings back to optimized defaults and see what what my temps were at stock, i set the H80 to performance mode.

Seems to now be better, with temps in line with hard HardOCP got on a 3770K at stock.

Idle (15 mins)

It had a spike of load for some reason, so max temps are not reflective. It pretty much stayed around mid to low 20s for the entire run.



100% Load (15 mins of Prime95 Small FFTs);

Generally stayed around 49-50 for the entire run.

Sub 70's is fine, esp as we are having this warmer weather. The chip won't start throttling back until 100 anyway

Those temps look good, my neighbours H100i wasn't much better, although the corsair AP fans ( the ones with the removable colour rings) were a huge upgrade over the ones that came with the H100i which are loud as hell!

As the original poster's question has been answered (some months ago ( ) I have closed the thread.
