i5 4690k temp problems

[EthanTheFrogMan]

MSI BIOS says my idle temps are 40 degrees Celsius, with two outtake fans and two intake fans in the NZXT s340, and a Hyper 212 Evo. Did I install the Evo wrong?

[FatalityDiablo]

what gpu do you have?

edit: a littel too high imo

Similar specs here. Mines are around 30 degrees. May just be your ambient temp but it never hurts to re-install the cooler.

[EthanTheFrogMan]

I had a hard time with the cooler install, I guess I could try it again. I have a EVGA GTX 970 FTW

[Enderman]

what are load temps

[EthanTheFrogMan]

IDK yet, How do I test that

[EthanTheFrogMan]

im installing windows now

If your machine declocks it's CPU in idle mode (the defaulted usual) , thats a little high.

If you've set an overclock and forced it to be at high clocks by default, thats normal.

Its at stock, no OC, ill re-install the heatsink once I install windows

My old 4690k used to be really hot, I would be more concerned about the temperature under load and making sure it doesn't get too hot. Make sure your fans are set to speed up under load.

[hak4fun]

Is it overclocked? 40c doesn't seem horrible especially if its overclocked. What are your max temps? like when its not idle... Like gaming or rendering.

[Satlen]

You should be able to adjust a target temperature in your bios. Try adjusting it but it will make the fans faster/louder.

fans are set with the bios to speed up under load.

 

how do I load the PC and check the temp?

[CostcoSamples]

Did you use too much thermal paste?  You want just enough to fill the tiny gaps between CPU and cooler.  What you don't want is a thick layer, which can actually decrease thermal conductivity.

Software like AIDA64

I used the line method, I put about 2 cooked rice grains

[EthanTheFrogMan]

I had put too much thermal compound and MSI BIOS said temps were 40c, I corrected the problem, and temps are still 37c on MSI BIOS, yet in the fan controller of MSI BIOS it says it is 42c, at idle,  so temps have not improved much, I have a Hyper 212 EVO. I was asked what the temps were under load like when gaming. I don't know how to measure temps while the PC is not in BIOS, thx

Download a program like real temp

[SeanBond]

@EthanTheFrogMan I wonder where you can get an i5 4790k.... anyway, get real temp or intel extreme tuning utility if you want to know the actual temp of your cpu, either way all those results are really nice and cool. Also, get msi afterburner with riva tuner statistics and enable the overlay while you game so you can monitor everything about your system while playing.

I tried to get realtemp, I extracted files with windows, now how do I run the ISO?

You run .exe file, not .iso. There isn't even .iso file in .zip folder. You extract that to some folder and run RealTemp.exe or RealTempGT.exe.

 

As for temps in BIOS, they are always somewhat wrong.

do you trust the temps in realtemp over bios? Bios says I have idle temps of 40c, realtemp says 30c

[Enzo_Mofo]

Followed cuz I have same processor and cooler in a box waiting to be built

[LogicalDrm]

Yes. Because I've verified the temps with 2-3 other software. Like HWmonitor, OpenHardwareMonitor, MSI Afterburner etc.

[Rouge]

I use HWMonitor which tells you current, min and max..... works great except for my Mainboard temps..... if that one seems high just ignore it, lol

 

My Mainboard reads in HWMonitor at 118C all the time, UEFI reads like 30C
