Normal Temps 4790k?

[Jayyzz]

I was running some firestrike runs, and I saw that my CPU temps are jumping around a lot. 

Is this normal?

 

I am using a Prolimatech Armageddon cooler with 2 140 mm fans.

Everything is stock with this CPU (Did not overclock or something). Core Voltage is 1.290 though.

 

I have 3 intake 120mm Noctua fans and 1 140 mm exhaust

What CPU cooler are you using, Stock?

80c on firestrike seems a bit too high

 

The highest mine has been is 70c with a 212 evo

 

Though mine isnt overclocked

Yea those are fine, mine are alot worse xD, the jump from like 30 to 80 in 3 seconds! gotta love dat 4.7Ghz overclock

[aisle9]

Why are you running 1.29v at stock?

[Soumyangel]

70-75 max

Nope, using a Prolimatech Armageddon.

But I have no overclock though

It is standard in the BIOS, did not touch it.

Lol 1.29 volts standard? i'm running at 1.255 volts f or my 4.7Ghz.

That is weird. I've owned two 4790K chips. One jumped to 1.24 at 4.4GHz, the other 1.18GHz. You might be able to manually undervolt it by quite a bit, which would help keep your temps down.

Yea dunno why

Hmm okay. What would you reccomend? Around 1.20? Or should I just take the voltage and overclock it (Don't know if its usefull for gaming with 2 580's as my GPU's though)

[IsaacDaGrazin]

im running at 1.5V for 3.1GHz-3.2/3GHz

i think you are fine with voltage although i may not be

If you're running at 4 GHz which i assume your i7 is at stock. try 1.10 and keep on going up until it doesn't crash under load, Try using the intel extreme utility for overclock and when you find one that works do it in the bios :P.

If you want to play it extremely safe, start at 1.24 (which any i7-4790K should be more than stable at) and dial it back until you're unstable. You'll probably end up around 1.15-1.18. My current CPU, by comparison, is stable at 1.14v at stock.

I have a 4690k and when I run firestrike my temp can hit 80c,, but im also overclocked to 4.6ghz at 1.28v. Under a standard gaming load though I usually stay right below 70c peaking to the low 70's at the highest.

Its running with boost at 4.4 though.

Ill try starting at 1.20 ,and see what temps Ill get :).

You're almost certainly fine. I just like to play it safe and be painfully meticulous about things. My "stabilization verification" takes 3-4 days when I think I've found my best OC lol

[Jayyzz]

This is the result I got with 1.2 v. Firestrike only reports 0.8v xD? Doubt that would be stable lol. Does this look like better temps, or is there something else happening?

[aisle9]

Looks like it's scaling the voltage down? Do you have HWMonitor or CPU-Z, something you can use to check your vCore?

Hmm odd. HW monitor still reports max 1.290v, but temps went down?

Are you using manual voltage in BIOS?

No was using Intel extreme utility as recommended, but guess I need to go into bios

Yeah, that's for if you want to find a starting point for an overclock without spending hours stepping through clock speeds individually. For just changing your voltage, BIOS is the way to go. Just set it to manual or override and enter 1.2, changing nothing else, then see if it boots. If it does, run XTU, RealBench, OCCT, AIDA64, whatever you want until you're confident enough in stability to dial it back to 1.19, and so on and so forth.

Also keep in mind that the 80c temps you showed in your 1st post were in the physics portion of the test. Physics are handled by the cpu so you will always have higher temps on the physics portion of the benchmark. That said also 80c seems a bit high without an overclock. Like I said I have the i5 4690k mines overclocked to 4.6ghz at 1.28v and I hit 80c in physics and short time in combined if I remember correctly. Although mine I believe is a small spike to the low 80's not constant 80c through whole physics portion.

Ok my reply thing was bugged xD. Tried 1.2 and windows itself crashed. Now testing 1.24v
