CPU Temperatures

[Predator101]

Hello, I am using an i7 4790k with a stock cooler. I was rendering a video in premier pro (first time with this cpu) and I was using real temp gt and my temperature hit 100 degrees C on one of the cores. Real temp Gt jump from about 85 to 90+ to 85 then 90+ etc. I was wondering if it was accurate (I have done a sensor test) it goes down to 20-30 degrees C fairly quickly (under 5 minutes) so I wonder if it is accurate and if anybody could recommend a more accurate temperature monitor it would be very helpful (thank you). I will have to get a cooler but I am wondering if I have done any damage to my Cpu, I cancelled rendering straight away on both attempts; I only reached 2% both times before it was too hot . 

 

Any suggestions on coolers, have a small budget of around 40 pounds (I need to buy isopropyl alcohol aswell)

 

Thanks for your help.

Yes it is accurate.  The 212 as mentioned above is a pretty good air cooler.

Don't forget to see if the case your PC sits can fit 212, just in case

Sounds like stock voltages are messing with you. You could just limit them manually to 1.15-1.2V and have little less heat.
