i7-4790k Reaches 95c when Rendering?!

[Will Barnard]

So I started rendering a video in Sony Vegas and after 30 seconds all four cores where at 95c! I've recently changed the render settings I am using, so it gives me much better quality:file size. I'm using the stock cooler and with my old settings it used to sit at 75c-80c at full load when rendering.

 

I know most of you will tell me to get an aftermarket cooler, don't worry I will, just got other things to buy first 

 

Is it normal to for a 4790k to reach 95c at full load? I've only had the CPU for two months and that seems pretty damn hot... I cancelled the render as soon as I saw the temperature!

stock cooler is your answer.

You have an unlocked CPU and a stock cooler? Upgrade the cooler to at least a 212 EVO, and then OC.

stock cooler is your answer.

Okay, I thought as much...

 

Is it bad to run at 95c? I presume so. It's just that I want to get this video uploaded, so would it be better to render at 95c (for 20mins) or switch back to my old settings and render at 75c-80c like i used to?

wont make much of a difference tbh

get a new cooler asap and maybe reapply thermal paste?

You like to render, and have a K processor mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i dont know you, but my top 1 priority would be an Aftermarket Cooler.

reapply thermal paste?

doubt it's the thermal paste, I used the stuff that's preapplied to intel's retail coolers, so I didn't even have to touch it...

I will be getting a Corsair water cooler after I've got a new GPU, but for the time being what cheap/effective cooler would you guys recommend?

The stock cooler will get the job done, as you have been doing. I would not recommend buying a cheap cooler and then spending on a good cooler because at the end, for the ammount of money spent you could have bought an even better cooler, keep your stock cooler, just be carefull and pay extra atention to the temps when rendering, 95°C is not the max temperature rated for that processor but in the long term it could reduce its lifespan, be "gentle" with your processor until you get your watercooler.

 

I would recommend a CM Hyper 212 Evo but that would be for the long term, and you want to watercool it ASAP (i guess), so better keep your money and go for the WaterCooling inmediately
