4770k under H220 in game

[LIGISTX]

Maybe this should be under CPU, not too sure. I got a new PSU (RMA got me a RM 750 instead of my noise TX 750). So I decided to play with my fan curves a bunch and just wanted to know if these temps should be fine or if I should shoot for lower. I know its basically personal preference about how cool I want it at this point, seeing as my CPU Radiator fans are only at 58% (Corsair SP 120 performance edition) and my pump is at 50% (higher than it probably even needs to be, but I can't hear it over the fans so I let it ramp up).

 

This is a graph I created with coretemp through an entire CS GO competitive game. CPU was at 4.4 GHz for most of the time, its on adaptive so it does dip down a bit every now and then when load isn't great, probably when I die and camera is still or something. Vcore didn't look to ever go over 1.3 in core temp's monitor from my glances from time to time. Also, the graph is an average of all 4 cores, they are basically identical most of the time anyway. Average temps were 51.8, 52.7, 52.51, and 53.1. 

 

Just wondering if there is any point to turning them up a bit. At this point, the CPU RAD fans match the GPU RAD fan so I am not "adding" noise.

 

The rig I am referring too is in my sig

60C is pretty low for load temps, but then again CS:GO isn't a huge stressor. Have you tried checking the temps under something like a demanding benchmark?

I have to agree, I like to use OCCT for my stress tests it really likes to put up max temps. My 4770k wont stay below 70C under load even with my custom loop ( Then again my chip is a dud)(2x480mm rad, 1x360mm rad, d-5 pump, and 11xNF-F12 fans. I would probably leave the fans alone the temps seem pretty good right now.

For stress test I use aida64, but that is just to validate my OC. For that I run fans @100% and it is within temps that keep me happy (under 80 if I remember correct). But NOTHING I do will ever stress my CPU like that, so I have my fans turned way down most of the time (it idle they spin literally as slow as they can, 700 ish rpm).

Basically I'm just really trying to validate to myself that letting the CPU get up to mid 50's while gaming is perfectly fine. With the Max temp being low to mid 60's (none of which even got logged by core temp as it polls to slow lol). I can make it run cooler under game load, but why add noise if I don't have to.

you are being way to conservative on temperatures. there is no loss/gain running

mid 70/80° to degradation of CPU/GPU. at the risk of noise level, the temperatures

are a factor, but the safety net is 85° for 24hr usage.

 

turn the fans down to comfortable noise level and be happy with the temperatures

while under use.

O wow, you don't think its of any concern until your hit 80's? 

But then what is the point of fancy water cooling if not to keep things cool? I can probabaly keep my fans at 700 RPM and temps will stay under 80c... lol

i do not think it is a concern.

 

why water cooling? your 700rpm seems to be an agreeable noise level (possibly

more rpm for cooler), using an air cooler in that speed would not yield that

temperature. the idea of h2o is finding a balance of thermal control and fan levels

that are agreeable. as the same same in air cooling, but in a more efficient way of

cooling.
