Is this normal temps for my i7 8700k

[MaorRX]

I am running an i7 8700k with a hyper 212 evo, I am stressing the CPU,FPU and,Cache  using aida 64 and these are the temps i get. is this normal safe temp, the cpu seems to kind of downclock from the 4.4ghz that it runs at and down it to 3.9GHZ as the cpu gets,hotter in benchmark. It seemed like at the start of benchmark cpu was running hotter but then it got colder from 80 celcius to 70???  

 

One of the cores even hit 90 celcius one time??? As you can see from aida 64 statistics.

TECHNICALLY,  90c is fine...its very hot BUT its within intel's specs

 

PERSONALLY,  its too hot, i would want to improve those temps 

 

More importantly, what kind of temps do you see for your regular tasks (not benchmarks) like gaming, editing...or whatever it is you use your pc for

Also coffeelake runs super hot

Well you can say that 80 degrees celcius is the recommended max temperature for your CPU. But 90 degrees celcius can in a rare case damage the CPU a little. Hows the airflow inside the pc? Do you have a exhaust fan?

Nahh I got the 8400 and I run 40-50 degrees when gaming. I also got the hyper 212 evo

Sorry, the non overclockable, lower clocked, lower TPD coffeelake doesn't run hot :P. The 8700k overclocked or stock runs really hot. I have built two PC's both AIO cooled with that CPU...it runs hot.

Thats true. 7700k got the same issue

It only runs at 90 for like a few seconds at the start of benchmark and then it cools itself down

Ya but I am pretty sure an i7 heats up alot more

During normal stuff it does not get that hot, like 60 i think

 

 

So do you guys think i should upgrade to a better cooler, and is this normal temps for a 212 evo and an i7 8700k

Based on your experience with 8700k, do you think i should upgrade to a AIO water cooler

So the really high quality air coolers, perform within degrees of AIO's (Sometimes even better), so I would just get either an AIO or a really good air cooler.

So would something like this suffice??

The biggest problem I have right now is getting a better cooler!!!

You guys probably dont know what it is like encouraging your parents to spend an extra $100 on a computer you build for like 3 grands, let me tell you, not so easy!!!!!!!

I would suggest, if you were really concerned, to get at least a 140mm aio, or a twin tower air cooler like this one https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V21E0640&cm_re=dark_rock_pro_3-_-13C-001F-00002-_-Product

Used air coolers are reliable and a good alternative.

The reason I am no going to go with this cooler is the amount of space it takes up??

It might block me from being able to install my ram!!!

I dont know,I am afraid of used stuff, I prefer new.  I dont trust people.

This is why I didn't mention aios, towers are robust and hard to mess up. A used tower will perform just as well as a new one, save for the few minutes of cleaning. I'm personally rocking a used Cryorig C7 as well as a Hyper 212 evo. Of course, if you can catch a sale, I'd go new for the warranty.

This is a good tower for quiet and cool operation, if you're concerned about compatibility, just remove the front fan. It's also $10 off right now.

Ya you are right, I have been looking online saw a good deal on a  used noctua, i am just afraid of ram clearance issues. Since the cooler is huge and has two fans.

Cryorig Universal coolers and the NH-D15 will have almost no clearance issues, plus you can just return it anyway if on the off chance it does interfere.

then thats fine

you dont need to replace the cooler

just avoid synthetic benchmakrs...its not a realistic load for your everyday use

 

HOWEVER

you have a processor designed to overclock

if you start overclocking then your current cooler is not good enough

When my case was closed, i even reached 100 celcius. I am going to replace it with a  Noctua

NH-D15

I have a fractial Define R5 so when its closed it heats up alot. The only fans I use right now is the back one on the case, and psu and cpu fan. I am not using the front fan because wire does not reach to motherboard fan header. So After I get an NH-D15 and an extender for length of wire for the front fan and maby some more regular chasis fans in the top it should run alot cooler.  For now I just wont task the system, i will just do lite load on system. Once i can encourage parents to get me a noctua NH-D15 I will replace it.

i use a R5 as well

why dont you just hook up the front fan to the case's fan controller??

it supports upto 3 fans - i use it to control two in the front and one in the rear .

it takes one sata power connector and splits out to three 3pin fan headers

and the switch on the front of the case lets you set the fans to low-medium-high

2 in, 1 out should be fan config. From first post your temps are fine for stress testing results and you have some headroom to go higher.

A good heatsink is an investment.

It's low-profile RAM. You can use any cooler you like. There won't be any issues with fitting.
