Help, i7-4790k temperature

[LesterLee]

Hi, i already tried applying thermal paste again and again, my room temperature should be about ~30, but my cpu temperature is at ~40c. im using swiftech h240-x and it is running fine with two new noctua 140m industrialppc fan. Never OC or anything

That sounds about right for your ambient temp being 30c........

This is absolutely normal. Your CPU temps are usually 10-15C above the room temperature.

The best your CPU can run at will be room temp. If it is 30, then 40 is not a bad number.

when i use prime95 to test it will goes up to 90c, is this normal too? how high can i go?

80/85 is a safe roof. 90 is pushing it. However, you're already in a fairly hot room, so your temps are not going to be perfectly ideal.

90c is pretty high. I wouldn't overclock it at all, as others stated your in a pretty hot room to start with. If you can i would find a way to decrease your room temperature, I keep my pc room at about 18c year round

I'm in a room where ambient can get up to 30c as well (in Singapore)

 

~40c is about right for idle temps, but 90c is too high for load.

 

Is your pump at full speed? Pumps should always be at full speed.

 

Is there sufficient air flow in your case?

 

Is there anything blocking your radiator exhaust?

 

not sure where to check my pump speed, im using corsair 780t case, 3 120mm noctua fan infront, radiator on pull , and rear 140mm fan provided by corsair (noctua one died, smoke came out)

Do not use Prime on your 4790K. It overvolts the CPU. Use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.

I don't know if your h240 has any software to monitor/control pump speed. But a sure fire way is to check which motherboard header the fan is plugged into, and set that header to run at full speed in the BIOS.

 

To enter BIOS, mash the Delete button when booting up.

 

Or if you have molex to 3pin adapters, getting your pump to run directly off the PSU will have it at full speed too.

 

Also consider installing a second exhaust fan.

now i plug the pump to my cpu_fan header and run it at full speed. temp at idle around~35c

Im trying to install it but it stuck, let me try again

edit: cant install the intel extreme, stuck at initializing and then it just say error

35c
