i7-4790k temperature question

[Ptopman]

Ok mods, hear me out, before you move this thread, I have already posted in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory but there is no love there (no one as even looked at my thread in the past hour).

 

It is really a simple question. What are the max temps for the i7-4790k? and my max temps I mean what is the max temp for the package and max temp for the cores.

 

thats all I need. I ask this because at 1.250v and 4.4GHz I am hitting 80*C on the package and between 70-80*C on the cores. I am not throttling at all so I want to know if I have any overhead or even push it a tad more. I have not hit the max clock for 1.250v yet as I want to make sure my temps are fine first.

 

P.S. I'm running the Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus, if anyone can't look at my sig.

max recommended temperatures are 75°C (I recommend them)

Don´t overpush your 300$ cpu, it´s not worth it. If you want to overclock, get atleast a good cpu cooler.

Stay between 50-60°C (max)  and it´s just PERFECT.

 

Sure you can run your cpu @80°C and it won´t "hurt" the cpu.

But still I recommend you to go easy on it.

Those temps are fine if those are the temps you are getting for burn tests, if you are getting temps like that with actual use then there is a problem for that voltage.

these are during AIDA64 stress test, at idle im at 25-35*C on the Package/cores temps, but I have not turned adaptive voltage on yet. im still at 1.250v at idle.

I wouldn't push it any more without getting a better cooler.

My i7-4790k runs at 4.8Ghz, 1.28v and stays between 25 and 55 degrees (10% and 100% load temps). However I think I struck lucky with a very cold chip, and having it water cooled as well.

OK ill go with these guys and not up my voltage anymore, thanks for the fast answers.

 

Just coming from a processor where max temp was 65*c I did not know how much I could go with this one, I knew the temps were going to be much higher but I did not know how high. as well Google would not give me a straight up answer.

Then you are more than fine. Basically if you are doing a burn test of any kind and it starts peaking at 84c that is your safe limit.

Ya water cooling helps a lot, I want to go custom loop but because of money, my next will have to be an AIO.

Can't recommend the H105 enough, if you're alright with a sometimes noisy pump, it really does seem to be the best AIO i've used *out of corsair AIOs at least*

I would go with the Hydro series, and noise is not a problem, by switching to an ssd and eliminating my HDD sound, I have maxed out all of my fans in my case and its still quiet to me, probably loud to others but my first GPU was a GTX 480 stock blower and nothing is going to be louder than that thing.

Well im coming back to tell you guys I got it under 80*C (at 78*c) and I have an 4.7GHz clock at 1.220v

temps don't matter on haswell its the voltage<> ampage draw you need to be worried about 

it doesn't matter if the load temps are under 60C keep the voltage below 1.3v @ load with ideal being below 1.265

if you are pushing 90C @ 1.20V you are perfectly fine 

60C @ 1.35v how ever is not acceptable for 24/7 

[vlkn´]

as long you are under 200°C+ you are fine on the haswell chips

but keep the voltage under 9000
