High temps with watercooling?

[Xyrock]

Hi! i have a overclocked i7-2600k OCed to 4.5Ghz and voltage at 1.32. im rendering some videos right now and the temp on my cpu is 80 celcius. should i be concerned?

 

The water cooler is kraken 41

Max normal temp is 60 degree celscius so yeah you should be concerned,also if your ocing get at leas at 240mm radiator

What is a "max. normal temp" ? Doesn't sound like a Intel specification.
T.case max is 72.6°C.

playing games and so on the temp is around 50-60. but rendering makes it go 80.

Max temp for sandy bridge is 72 degrees so his cpu is currently thermal throtelling

Rendering is a consistently heavier load than gaming.  Your temps are fine considering your load.

so i shouldnt be worried right now? and yes. right now its under 100% load

should i do anything about it? cancel the rendering or anything?

[Himommies]

How much stuff do you have left to render.

30 mins rendered and its on 50%

High temps under load is a completely subjective thing.  I personally don't have any issues with my chip running 80+ while I know it's under a heavy load such as AVX and the like.

[Himommies]

I highly reccomend not going above 75 degrees temp at most

i guess it wont do any harm if i leave it rendering for 1-2 hours? i know that games runs around 50-60c so gaming is not a problem.

It will reduce the lifespan of your chip

well the chip itself is already 6-7 years old and done many rendering, just never thought of the temperature till now. just curious how even with water cooling the cpu goes to 80c

[Vasllo]

If it's not reaching the high 80s or 90C, you're probably fine. Games often don't use much CPU, so when you go from 50% usage to constant 100%, your temps go way higher.

My favorite topic.  The infamous "degradation" talk.

Stop saying stuff you don't know about man, you're not helping anyone if you have no idea of what you're saying.

JayzTwoCents made a video saying he ran his old Intel CPU at a extreme OC for 7 years and he only got a new CPU because the motherboard died. People also love to say that OC kills CPUs... CPUs are not fragile components.

Do you know that your CPU requires 1.32v to maintain stability?  

 

There are varying stages of stability and you may be able to lower it enough for a stable rendering load, which may not be OCCT or Prime95 stable.  Does that make sense?

As a matter of fact, Intel CPUs are unbelievably resilient.  I've personally done and seen plenty of others do things to Intel chips that would make most cringe, yet they keep on ticking.  You have to almost intentionally try to kill it.

yes i know that my cpu requires 1.32v to be stable on 4.5Ghz because i OCed it. i have ran prime for around 4-6hours to test the stability of it and so far no crashes, bsod or anything for the last 1 year

But the main thing is that the cpu can run on 80C for a while, about 1-3hours perhaps? just gotta watch out for it to go around 85-90c. Thanks for all the help!

I understand that part, what I'm saying is that you can create a lesser stage of stability.  You don't need your OC for rendering to necessarily be Prime95 stable. You could do something like try 1.31 or 1.3 with some rendering tests and if it proves stable enough for rendering, you could simply use that and then go back to your Prime95 stable overclock.

 

I have profiles loaded in BIOS for different tasks.  No need to run a OCCT / Prime95 stable voltage if I don't have to.

Yeah, my notebook's CPU runs at 88C 100% of time when I play. If you're not over 90C, it's probably fine. And before I cleaned my sister's notebook, her CPU was running at 96~100C and it didn't die LOL.

im not sure if i wanna go lower than 1.32 because it will start crashing and doing bsod, and its really annoying  but i will note that up.

im quite curious how her components didnt melt at that point O_O

I'm sure the CPU just spent a lot of time throttling.  Intel FTW!
