CPU Temperature

[UberInferno]

i'm running my i7 3770k under load 85-90 degrees for around a month now, if i countinue long term, will it give up on me? shall i bring to at least 80 - 85?

Technically that is in spec and ok. But some believe that this will degrade the CPU a bit (make it last a bit less long) but I have never had or heard about a burned out chip (besides heavy OCing)

 

So why is it that hot? Big OC or crappy cooler?

sub 85 is a big improvement

4.6 ghz running botw all 8 threads 100%
using gd900 as thermal paste and tx3, however my tx3 cooler just seems as the pipes are clogged in a way? i've seen on internet better results with it

They cant be clogged. MAYBE and I guess not damaged so the gas leaked. But that wont be the case. Are you running the fan on a decent RPM?
Also I have never heard about that paste but yeha. Easiest thing is to remount and dust the cooler and see what happens. 

If fan optimizations and repasting dont help it might be time for a bigger cooler

cooler was a bargain anyway, gd900 is a chinese paste the grade of mx5 for 1 buck lol, check techyescity comparison on thermal pastes, rpm is max at 2500, i'll see what else i can do

oh okay, isnt that a bit loud? If nothing helps maybe good old 212 evo or something along those lines?

Get decent paste and dial back the OC a bit. 90C isn't good for the CPU

i'm used to 4k rpm of my old fan so this is quiet for me xd
