4930k max temperature

[classicyellow83]

Hi, I'm trying to overclock my 4930k chip and was just wondering what the max temperature is.

100, 90 is best tho, 80 for long runs

What cooler do you have on that 4930K?

Try to not get it over 85 C though.

wow it can go that high? my old computer was fx 8350 and highest it can go was 62c

no, but with good cooling it will become heavily unstable before that happens, but below like 110C it wont get damaged

But it's not healthy for the cpu in the long run?  :huh:

heat and voltage shorten the life span

So.... 80C is good for longevity of the chip?

75-80.

OK! thank you guys~~~ ill post again after im done overclocking my system!

But that much heat can fry the chip can't it.

you cant fry a cpu, it will shut down well before that, and no they are rated safe at 110c most of the time, but like most of us we get nervous when it goes above 80(if it goes that high)

i just finished overclocking at 4.4 with 1.300volts and ran prime95 for about 1.5 hours and got temp of 72C max. thank you again guys!

 

Edit: I originally got 76 C but I did a dual fan mode and the temperature went down 4 degrees.
