Safe temps for a 7700k?

Hey, I've had an i7 7700k for a while running on an Asus TUF Z270 MK1 and with an NZXT Kraken X62 AIO. With the fans at 80% (corsair LL140's) in a push pull configuration, i reach temps of 70 - 80. They never dip below 70 but never go higher than 78. I'm going to upgrade my chassis to a higher airflow one (probably the 680X Crystal series) but I wanna know if these are safe temps. I understand that this chip is known to get hot but I wanna know if I should dial back my 4.6 on all cores OC back to the stock frequency or if it's safe to keep it like this.

 

Thanks!

7700K max temps are at 100 degrees C, so what you are experiencing it totally fine.

But keep in mind load temperatures don't really mean much without knowing the ambient temperature.

Well my ambient is around 35 to 45. They jump around a lot though but I've heard that even opening applications can make this CPU change it's load drastically for a split second.

Do you live in the desert or a tropical area?

 

35c ambient sounds brutal

Also the fans run pretty slow at idle, I might ramp them up a bit now

Well lucky you lol. I have to keep my PC on the floor due to their being no room on my desk. I never actually hit 80. I max out at 78 on 1 core and around 77 - 68 on the others. Except from cinebench, I hit these temperatures when I'm playing Rainbow 6 Siege at, absolute max graphics, at 144hz, 1080p. (this is the high definition variant of R6 which is 90gb, the steam variant is standard with 60gb)

Mine's been set to throttle at 100° and has been doing that for 2 years when at full load (poor SFF case).

It's specced for it. No need to worry.
