intel I7-7700K running hot?

[Kim S]

Hello, so december last year a got a friends I7-7700k for my Frankenstein Rig and its my first intel cpu, and it is on and off freaking me out on how hot it idles and/or gets.

 

i recently noticed it when running Minecraft for the first time on this cpu that is spikes in usage to 100% and temp goes up to 83c ( package ) and ( package idle at 40c ) i guess it might not be a high idle temp considering my room temp is around 26-28 c, but i would just like to here from someone more knowledgeable i have a Corsair Hydro H100x (2x120mm) cpu fan , and here are some HWtemps after have had minecraft open for the " max " temps

The load temps are a bit on the high side but nothing to worry about.

what would be a temp where its clearly not good ? " on the higher side" dose not really say me much cuz im not well versed in cpus sorry

I'll advise to try HWInfo64 for all your readings to be sure of accuracy. 

 

100c core, socket temps it will throttle. Anything lower is a safe running temp, of course lower is always better when applicable.

Over 90 I would start worrying. The 7700k just runs hot. I've had mine for over 5 years, it's also watercooled and runs hot as well. You can try setting a more aggressive fan curve or increasing fan speed in general if there is room for that. Otherwise I wouldn't worry too much.
