I have an I7-7700k that I've had for awhile now. It works great! it meets my demands, but I'm always looking for ways to improve my PC and get just a little more FPS out of my hardware. I've noticed that when looking online I find temps on it to be a lot lower than mine. I've seen on one forum that someone has idle temps of around 27-30C. I don't have anywhere near that! My idle temp after running continuously is anywhere to around 44-50C. I might be wrong, maybe it's supposed to run this hot, but i don't think it is. When gaming I stick to around 80-87C on BF5 (max/high), but i find quite often that it spikes momentarily up to 90-100C. I've tried stress testing the CPU and comparing it to others temps, using Aida64, stressing the FPU, I INSTANTLY hit 100C and have massive throttles(Highest 57%). I've seen other forums using other software and I've compared it to them aswell, and i find that others temps are always better than mine. for example, on Intels community forum I found someone using CPU-Z for over an hour and only getting temps of 80C (that is unheard of to me, any high intensity stress test maximizes my thermals). I understand that Kaby Lake processors run hotter than the original, but I'm not so sure mine should be running this hot, and I cannot pinpoint what is wrong. Recently, I delidded my CPU and put in Thermal Grizzly Kyronaught but I do not believe it improved my situation as much, if at all.
