High CPU temperature

[Xolin]

I was running CPUID while running a Cinebench and the max turned out to be 87~89 C for one of the cores and the rest of the cores were in the mid 70s. 

 

I think I should get a new CPU cooler. 

 

Which one is better?

 Arctic Alpine 12 CO or Antec A30?

 

CPU: Intel i5 4690 
Currently I’m using an Arctic 11 GT Rev.2

check whether ur thermal paste is still good

The Alpine 11 GT is recommended for up to 65W TDP.
The Intel i5 4690 has 84W TDP.

Alpine 11 is recommended for up to 85W.

Alpine 11 Pro is recommended for up to 85W.

Apline 12 is recomended for up to 95W.

your heatsink isn't designed to cool that much TDP as mentionoed by the (wo)man above, so under heavy load i'd say it's okay temps.

though a slightly better cooler would be beneficial if you want to do tasks that require your cpu to work overtime.

for just gaming you should be fine,

Antec A30:

20 dB(A) noise

3 pin (rpm is roughly controlled)

Price in germany: 15.81 €

 

Alpine 12:

22.5 dB(A) noise

4 pin (rpm is regulated precisely)

Price in germany: 7.70 €

 

Alpine 12 CO:
37,0 dB(A)

4 pin

Price in germany: 8.68 €

none. but the A30 would be slightly better. what your budget and what sites can you order from?

Single core being higher for short time is more likely just bug. If same happens over longer periods, and more normal operations, like gaming or rendering/encoding, then I would look for new cooler. Or if you are unhappy with noise. But for now, and for locked CPU, I wouldn't worry about it.

If one or more core temps are very different from the others for a prolong period, it might be caused by bad TIM under the IHS, especially for older Intel chips

 

But don't look at max temp, look at sustained temp, or avg temp when under load

I applied a new MX-4 thermal paste. 
 

The question is: Should I buy a new cooler or stay with the current one?

are you comfortable with delidding?

The actual question is, how are temps during normal operations? Running benchmark or stress test is worst it gets. As in you don't see those temps unless you do something like mining or very heavy rendering.

Agreed.

 

Before you can solve the issue, you first need to identify the scope of the problem; as in under what circumstances do you have and don't have over heating issues.

I reached 99 celsius on my Dell Xps 13 9360 laptop without any overclocking, how do I reduce this temp.

For one, don't hijack others threads. For two, laptop is very different from desktop when it comes to cooling. As in you will have high temps regardless. Only thing you can do is to change thermal paste.

Sorry I meant to post this somewhere else
