Ocing 4770k

Right now at 4ghz, I idle at 35c and 100% load is 60-65c. Is there a max temp I should try to keep it under?

I would try and stay below 85C.

Thank you, i'll read through them.

 

75C

 

 

90C is safe, 105C is the thermal cutoff point, I'd aim for the high 70s as a max for 24/7 operation.

 

Thanks :)

90C is not safe...

90C is when the PC will auto-shut down to prevent damage.

Anything over 85C is getting very close to that.

Not true, where is the evidence?

Check your bios. There should be a temp setting for maximum CPU temperature.

Yes but a 4770K specifically can run upto 105C core before it will throttle, even then it won't result in a shutdown.

 

Yes it can, but not only is this about the CPU, but also the max temp the socket can handle. All motherboards will have the shut down setting at a max of 90C to prevent damage to the board or surrounding components. If you are letting your CPU go to 100+C it's lifespan is seriously reduced, and it should definitely not stay at 100+C. 105C is the peak operating temperature. For constant use it should be much lower than that.

I am aware that 90+ is not good for 24/7 operation, but 90C will not kill the CPU.

I wrote in my original post that high 70s is what I'd consider a good safe max for 24/7 op.

 

Basically we are arguing because I am talking about max possible temps to run the CPU, and you are talking about safe temps to run the PC, your input is more relevant here I suppose, however that picture you posted just gives a temp warning, it's not a cutoff.

 

I think it's intended to detect failed cooling systems.

I'm pretty sure that there is something similar to this somewhere in the bios, I just couldnt find an image of UEFI.

I'm sure there is, but what is it set at? That is the important thing, and what's it's max setting (presumably the BIOS wouldn't be programmed to allow a higher shutdown temp than can be safely handled by the board) and the CPU core temp doesn't necessarily govern the temperature of the board's power circuitry.

 

When the CPU reaches 105C without intervention from the BIOS/motherboard it will just throttle itself until the temp comes down, I don't think it will crash/kill the PC.

 

Anyway, we are derailing the heck out this thread, OP's temps were safe to begin with. :)

here is an easy way to find out what max temp is.

 

1. take off cpu heat sink

2. turn on computer and load into bios

3. see what temp that cpu gets to before it turns off

4. repeat 1 - 3 a few times to make sure it shuts down at the same temp

5. buy a new cpu and possibly mobo.

 

 

simple!
