i7 4790k Average Temps

Finally got my 4790k build complete. However I am little curious about my Temps. Currently im using the Noctua U12S with my 4790k which is running at Stock Speeds but I do have XMP Profile enabled so ASUS Multi core Enchantment is turboing all 4 cores to 4.4GGHZ when ever possible. But back to my question. After running Aida 64 for a bit I am running around 68-74C, which seems a bit high to me considering that my older 4930k never broke 62C using the same cooler and same case with the same airflow. What are your guys experience with 4790k Temps? I am thinking that maybe because its such a highly clocked part is why its running so warm.

Your temperatures are what I would expect to see.

 

No need to worry, Haswell just has shitty temps.

 

I'm not sure what my temps are, I'm not at home yet so I don't know. The main bottleneck for the heat transfer is the chip -> metal plate (IHS), that's the case for these Haswells anyway, I think the extreme chips have a better solution in regards to this, so they naturally are cooled more affectively.

devils canyon has a different thermals not unlike 4770k

The problems still persists in Devil Canyon, they still have crappy transfer/crappy IHS interface.

 

I do know what you are talking about though.

Yeah im not having any stability issues. Just thought my Noctua would do a better job of keeping this thing cooler.

 That seems normal to me, my temps hover around the same range in aida64 but then again I am in a tropical climate so my ambient temps are quick high.

It's not the IHS that's the issue, it's the glue holding the heatsink plate on that's the issue. Because it's not soldered on, the glue creates a slight gap that causes the thermal paste to not make full, proper contact with the plate. It's why when people delid their cpus they get better temps, because they get rid of the glue and allow full and proper contact. It's just an intel screwup when really they should have sticked to soldering them on.

I'm currently using a Noctua NH-U14s as my 4790k cooler and your temps are only marginally higher than mine. (I'm using XMP also - the difference could even possibly be determined by ambient temperatures and margin of error).

As mentioned by others it's just the way this particular chip is, it really does spike temperatures a lot even on low loads. I'm on my third chip now - the first was faulty but all three behaved in the same manner, and Intel confirmed the latter two were passed after they tested them.

You might be able to lower the peaks with something like a H110i GT or some beastly custom water loop, but you're introducing other factors there.

Yeah I think ill stick with my current cooler. I've owned AIO Liquid Coolers in the past and i rather have the quietness of the Noctua.
