Quick Question about 3770K

[iPhantasy]

I'm running an Intel i7 3770k 3.5GHz cooled by a Corsair H100i configured in push with Noctua NF-F12 fans. At 30%-40% load my temps range from 48C-58C. I've read that Ivy Bridge runs a little hot but Is these temps high? Thanks.

 

Edit: I'm using Task Manager to view load and Speccy to see my temps.

If at 30% you're getting 85c then yes, that is high.

 

If at 30% you're getting 45c, that's fine.

 

Can you post any more specific details perhaps?  Also ambient room temp etc etc

What are full load temps?

58 not 85

Oh, well that is pretty good I misread. 

 

Definitely look into room temp; all of that first.

What about full load?

[iPhantasy]

Full load is usually floating between 89-93C

That´s too much. What software do you use for testing? I´d recommend Aida64 Extreme. Don´t use Prime95.

I was using Prime95. Here are my results with Aida64 for about half an hour. Yes I know that I'm Supposed to run it for longer but that's the temperature that it settled at after 5 minutes. Also forgot that I overclocked to 4.6GHz.

Now that´s more like it. With this high OC your temps are fine. Aida64 Extreme is IMHO the best test, stress test and benchmark software. I have it in full version because I do so much OCing.

 

Looks all good to me.

 

EDIT: You could reapply a better thermal compound or use a better cooler to drop your temps a bit more if you want to keep this OC. But even with these temps it´s not concerning because hardly any application does stress the CPU 100% all the time other than a CPU stress test or rendering.

That is about right.
