My 4770k is overclocked to 4.4Ghz and I am getting temps in the mid 80's when running prime95, i am using an h100i to cool it. is this abnormally high?

Thats fine, what is your ambient temp and what voltage did you set in for that oc?

Hey there. You are looking mighty fine today, have my virtual cookie!  :ph34r:

Voltage is 1.2 W/ Adaptive, Temp @ idle is 33 Degrees

Haswell is notorious for having cheap TIM between the die and the IHS. You cannot send for RMA as your CPU isn't actually faulty, however you could either delid or lap your CPU which would void you warranty. Another option is to lower the voltage on your CPU in order to reduce the amount of heat produced. As long as your keep your CPU below 1.5V and 90C you should be fine.

But is it bad to run it this hot? Or is this ok?

this actually sounds like on of the better 4770Ks

Dont worry temps are fine, plus in games you ll never really pass 70ish C so no worries

DUDE you are lucky trust me I tried to overclock to 4.5Ghz on 1.255 and my CPU wasn't stable but booted. Being able to get 4.4Ghz on 1.2 IS freaking amazing. 

 

1) Don't use prime95 it's not haswell certified try Auda64 or Intel's Overclocking Software 

2) You can probably get to 4.5Ghz since you only need like 1.2V for 4.4 and your temps will be cooler because prime95 is an unrealistic load, try Intel's software

 

I have the same hardware as you I have to run at stock, you got a good CPU.

1.25V and 4.5 didn't boot...

You got a decent chip, congrats!

 

Mine takes 1.275v for 4.4Ghz to be stable on air.

You still got a great CPU, my 4770K is complete shit compared to yours. Under Aida64 my CPU goes to 80C+ running @stock with a h100i. 

I think you have got a bad mount...

I remounted the h100i I'm gettling like 70C-75C under load and remain 30C at idle which is good I guess. What V are you using at 4.7? 

I have to edit my sig  again but I'm running 4.6 @ 1.38v (haven't had time to try and bring volts back down)

But my load temps are 20ish at idle and 50-60 at load with a custom loop..

Is Aida64 safe to run with adaptive voltage?

It can still draw too much power just like Prime although from the testing I have done its very minimal.
