Is this too high of a temp?

[Wizzl3Dizzle]

Hey guys i have recently built a new pc and have started overclocking. My specs are below.
 

Case: Thermaltake Commander G42

CPU: I5 4690k @ 4.2ghz O.C. (voltage increased to 1.100v)

CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Seidon 120m

GPU: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 680

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2 x 4gb) 1600mhz

SSD: 120gb samsung 850 evo

HDD: 1tb Western Digital Blue

PSU: Corsair TX650 

 

At idle im getting 33 - 34 degrees. When i run games that are not too intense im reaching 46 degrees and when i run prime95 for 30 minutes i get 87 degrees max. Im monitoring with CoreTemp. What i want to know is if this is adequate temps for this system.

Yup, those temps are right in line with what you should expect for that cooler.

 

Nice OC on stock voltage btw.

[Wizzl3Dizzle]

Its not stock voltage. i upped it .100v to get it stable. the stock voltage was 1.0.

Doesn't Prime95 dangerously up the voltage? Or is that some other program?

yup, I wouldn't recommend Prime95 for stress testing. I use Intel XTU for realistic scenarios and Aida64 to push it to the limit

Don't use prime, it can do some damage to haswell. Use aida64 or intel burn test. I guarantee you will get much better temps and you won't be burning out your cpu with crazy volts.

Prime95 is perfectly fine to use, just be a pro and set your voltage to manual/constant/override/static, or whatever your motherboard manufacturer calls it.  This way, the adaptive voltage won't overvolt your chip.  This is something you should do before any stress test, not just P95.  When you are done stress testing, revert back to adaptive voltage.

[Wizzl3Dizzle]

My motherboard is set to full manual mode. So p95 shouldint overvolt. I will try other test as well soon.

When done stress testing, you should revert back to adaptive.  That will bring your idle temps down as well.

[Wizzl3Dizzle]

ok well i have a problem. The control for the cpu voltage has only 2 settings. full manual or offset.

[Wizzl3Dizzle]

ok figured it out. voltage is set to adaptive. added 2 120mm coolermaster sickle flow reds to the top sucking in. now my temps are 27 - 32 idle. haven't tested games yet.
