how to check cpu temps now

[lukky211111]

ok so im running an i7 4790k in my new build and today i just installed an nh d15 into my pc and used the supplied thermal compound what temps should i be seeing in games? i used real temp while playing borderlands 2 and hit a max of 52 c im very new to this so im quite confused.

Those temps look really good. Anything under 75c is good for a 24/7 heavy work load.

ok im just making sure cuz building my first pc has been on of the greatest experiences and probobly one of the most stressful and i couldnt handle if this thing didnt work right after all this.

Anything below 75 under load is fine

100% load or what?

[OAcesync]

Yeah full load

D15 and that CPU. Idle should be 30-35C (ambient/room temp 20-23C). Games 50-60C. Full load 60-65C. Bit of guessing game I base these temps to experience with my own stuff and what I have read here as reported temps.

My idles are in the 20s to lower 30s max I've gone during a game so far is 52 c

Stress test it and see what you get: http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/download

 

Stop the test if it reaches 90C, although you're likely to be in the mid 60s to low 70s.

the best cpu stress program that i know and use is prime95 (is old school, but is the king)

 

but you can "not" use this program with that cpu friend (intel don't like that program, seriously friend don't try it)

 

and for the temp monitor i use HWMonitor (is free)

 

and MSI Command Center (from my MSI motherboard FM2 that i love)

Prime95 is great if you're at load 24/7, (e.g.folding), but otherwise it's way overkill. Most people don't need a system that's Prime95 stable, IETU & OCCT are fine for the average user.

 

Real Temp is fine and easier/quicker to read.

wrong my friend, idle shoud be around 28-30c, gaming around 45c and full load in the 50s, thats on a stock i7 4790k, my cryorig r1 ultimate gives me those temps and its on par with the d15, in some games it doesnt even hit 35.

 

if youre using prime95 use 26.6 or your temps will look like the coolers bad.

AIDA64 stress test, but it might get hotter than your actual tasks

Anyway, those temps are really good

I said I was guessing based on what I have read.

And I was just saying what they should be about
