6600k Running extremely cold?

[Krzyimprt]

Just upgraded to a 6600k and decided to play around with it. My CPU is extremely cold, not that it's a bad thing. I'd say it's around 10c/50f as it's rather cold in my house.

thats just minimum though....

its not operating at 10c....

So it's around the mid 40's when stress testing?  On what cooler? That could be perfectly reasonable, especially if it's actually 10°C ambient in the room

House temperature is around 10c. I never see temps above 50c...

They are over 40C?

My 4790K is under 40C and ambient here is nearly 30C

that would be at idle though, correct?  OP's running AIDA64 stress test

Yeah that's a decent cooler.  I get mid 50s on my 4770K at stock speeds with a good air cooler with the room in the low 20's, so your numbers seem perfectly reasonable to be honest

I think it has to do with the ambient temp, it's so cold I have to wear a hoodie.

yeah if the chip idles at around 14 or 15 °C, the room must be around 10 or even less, like 5.

Depends on the cooling, with a custom waterblock & loop, you can get ~1c above ambient.

Where I live ambient is usually 30C and really humid

Near the equator and sea level

Without air conditioning

i feel ya bruh

 

 

well, low ambient temps gives you low temperature, so nothing wrong with that lol
maybe u got a good chip too, that doesnt run too hot lol

Well I don't have a dedicated GPU yet. That may play a role. Also the middle bolt on the 212 is snug along with it's mounting bracket, all four screws are bottomed out. The heatsink doesn't move side to side like on most people's rig because they install it incorrectly.

Lol one time i put a stress test on my gpu and cpu and closed my window. Then headed outside on my bike for an hour. I'm not even joking when i came back my room was 30 degrees Celsius xD. (90 Fahrenheit for you weirdos that use that shitty measurement xD)

To be honest, your CPU isn't cold or doing anything out of the norm at all.  Your ambient room temps are so low that your CPU is running proportionally lower in temp.

 

Add 10c to your ambient room temp and I bet your peak core temps in RealTemp go up to the area of 60c.  Your voltage isn't high and your overclock is moderate.

 

Short and skinny, you're running a computer in a cold room so you have cooler temps.
