CPU Overclock and Temps.

[Tola]

I have over clocked my CPU to 4.5GHz, is this a good OC? I My voltage is 1.2775. Also the max temp it hits while running Cinebench R15 is 85 Degrees Celsius, is this safe?

[Tola]

What would be a good temp?

No, not really. The temperature is okay and wouldn't be bad for the CPU.

[Tola]

No, not really. The temperature is okay and wouldn't be bad for the CPU.

So would it be okay to keep that frequency and Voltage?

[DoubleY]

What would be a good temp?

Personally, I would stick to 75c max temp

[Tola]

Personally, I would stick to 75c max temp

That was the max temp it hovered around 80-82 for most of the benchmark.

It is fine. It is really personal choice. I would say it is okay but if you think it is too hot back off the overclock a bit.

everything looks good, though i think that is a bit to hot for my liking. Voltage and frequency are perfectly safe though. i would just save up for a better cooler as that will let you oc even further at probably a lower temp depending on the cooler you get. actually i just read in your sig that you have an h100i. you may want to re-seat your cooler as i have a 4670k at 4.6ghz at 1.275 vcore and only get to around 72c. You should be getting better temps with an h100i

Thinking of doing a full custom loop during the summer. Would it be worth it to go for full watercooling?

Mine gets hotter, but personally that's okay to me. Benchmarking pushes the cpu hard, nothing I do even comes close to what it pushes to. My max real world usage temps are 60c and that's fine for me.

just edited my post, you should try reseating your cooler, that temp is prety high for that voltage and clock speed on an h100i

Would fan orientation on the rad help as well as re-seating the block.

fan orientation should not matter too much, just for reference i have my fans i a push config exhausting from the top of my case. just try re-seating the cooler while using some better thermal paste. The stock corsair thermal paste is not that great. first time installing the h100i on my system and i was seeing temps resembling the stock intel cooler haha. New thermal paste fixed that right away.

Will do.

4.7ghz on an h212 :blink: What king of temps are you running haha. Thats insane!

[SkilledRebuilds]

When it comes to my Sandy bridge CPU using a Hyper 212, It automatically shuts the system down @ 100*c or maybe a little more.., throttles at 85*c+, and knowing that,..I always try to maintain a maximum temp of 80*c give or take a few degrees, with it rarely hitting that max unless testing/benchmarking the CPU, to which my average maximum for games and whatnot is 70-75*c with maybe seeing 80*c rendering.

 

Bios Fan profiles based on ramping up once you hit the target temp,...my fans from low speeds up until CPU @ 70*c when they are starting to spool faster.

102c when being benched but stable. Always stays below 65c with anything I've thrown at it in the real world. Using bench temps should be taken with a grain of salt. Maxing out all four cores rarely happens so I don't care how hot benchmarking gets it. I prefer real world usage temps. I have a lcd on my keyboard and I monitor the temps always.

and here i am getting scared when my cpu goes over 70c haha. I'm guessing you must be somewhere north of 1.30 vcore to get that speed.

I've used laptops for years, I'm use to seeing temps close to 100c so it doesn't bother me. The hyper 212+ is just temporary, a h100i is coming in a month My vcore is actually 1.28v for that speed and it's stable. I've got it down to 4.5ghz now though just to see if there would be any temperature differences between the speeds and after over a week the temps are exactly the same. My vcore for 4.5ghz is 1.23v (any lower and it's unstable)

 

The max I've got my I7 to is 4.9ghz core voltage 1.35v and it was stable. I tried for 5ghz but I didn't up the voltage and it crashed, just doing a test to see how high it would go. I'll be doing a legit test for that when I get my h100i to help with the high temps at the time. Just wanna see how lucky I got.

No, will be 0,000% difference.

an h100i is already an adequate cooler, so it's not the cooler maybe the chip.

 

I cannot go over 4.2GHz on mine because of temps even with my h110, so my silicone draw was just plain unlucky. Mine peaked at 95 degrees on small fft prime95 stress with a 4.4 OC. Just the luck of the draw mate

[StormEye]

Some CPUs just don't get cool enough, regardless of how good of a cooler you put on it. But you might be surprised how heat tolerable some of these CPUs are.

 

My old 3770K hit 90 degrees all the time, on full load, and it never had a single problem.

 

I probably would have had been able to push OC a little more if temperature was a little lower, since I was able to hit higher clocks but then it would go 100 (LoL), so I backed it down a bit,

You want low 70's in cinebench.

 

Either the voltage is spiking past 1.2775 (adaptive), the cooler isn't installed right, or you got one reaaaaaaaaaaly hot batch of Haswell.

 

Those are the temps I would see at that voltage on a evo 212. H100i shouldn't be that high a temp at that voltage. 

 

Low 80's can be "ok" in Aida, first round of prime blend. Past that? I would never render with those temps.
