4790K OC

So, I ran a 15 min test for my 4790K...

4.6ghz @ 1.29v 

Max temp 83 on a AIO

Considering Intel XTU really doesn't produce a terrible amount of heat nor is it the most stressful software, you might want to re-check your cooling. You shouldn't be hitting those temps. 83°C will not harm your computer if it is not sustained for hours at a time multiple, multiple times. It's a "safe" temperature in that regards, but it also has more risk involved than sub-80°C because it's at the point where if your CPU were to stay at that temperature 24/7 for weeks, it will degrade your CPU over time. Basically, don't do this on a workstation rig that will constantly be rendering/folding, otherwise it's okay. Also, since XTU doesn't produce a lot of heat, it's possible certain programs will produce MORE heat than what you are testing right now, making it more dangerous. That being said, 83°C @ 1.29v with a liquid AIO seems unreasonably high to me.

Well.. I got a free AIO so i'm not really complaining. It's kinda shit but all in all, it is water cooled. I need a new one. This one is extremely loud and what people have been saying, temps are too high.

 

I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
