Normal Temps?

[AuraDesru]

Is this pretty normal for a MATX build? I've worried because it's almost reaching 90C. Watercooled by a seidon 120v btw.

i shouldnt even reply, but i have no idea :DDDD

It's a little high. I would not worry to much though. Did you over clock? If so, go down to like 3.5 ghs.

that voltage is a little on the high side but that is an OK temp would get  a better cooler

At what load level are you getting these temps, gaming or stress test like Aida64.

that seems reasonable to me for a 120mm if you are running something like p95 or IBT which I'm assuming you are judging by your min/max voltages.  That'd be a little concerning even for aida I think.  That voltage is decently high though, most 4790k's can do a little lower voltage for 4.6ghz but it does depend on the chip.  I can do 1.285v at 4.8ghz but I think I have a fairly decent chip. 

 

What are your gaming temps like?  P95 for me gets 90°c+ since I run 5.0 @1.43v, but I stay under 55°c while gaming in a hot room

Those are my temps during gaming for a long time.

I did put my cpu to turbo performance in bios today for the lulz

Ill put it back to stock then.

My fractal case is really small so...

try manually overclocking.  I think you'll find you can do it while making less heat.  I would also probably try and remount your cooler just to be safe if you have more thermal paste.  Take a good look at it when you take the block off the cpu and see how well it's smashed down too

I havent replaced my thermal paste since last summer. I feel like getting a bigger case might solve the issue?

getting a bigger cooler would help solve the issue probably, if you need a bigger case to do that then yeah it could help.  120mm isn't a lot of heat dissipation for a 4790k over 1.3v.

 

What kind of fan speeds are you running?  If they aren't at max then crank them to 100% or try better fans

Did that already in bios

 

Would the temp in my house effect it dramatically?

I dont have AC and its really hot in my room.

Usually the temps are lower than 80C

yeah, your component/water temps rise 1° for every 1°c that the "ambient" temp rises.  Same thing with the water temp compared to your component temp.   but the difference between 80f and 70f in Celsius is only about 6°c so your temps would be about 6°c lower if your room temps were 10°f lower. 

 

One thing you can do to see if you just need more radiator space-

run a stress test like aida and what your load temps are like over time.  If they start around 70°c and then rise over time to 90°c then that is the "water" warming up because the radiator can't keep up the the amount of heat being put into the loop.  Every loop will increase water temps over time, but if it's going up 30°c over ambient then your cpu will also get that much hotter than it would with cooler water.  

 

A bigger radiator will get rid of more heat so it will balance out at a lower temperature

I don't have that space to fit a bigger radiator :\

 

I set my clocks on my bios to default. It's currently only stuck at 4.00 ghz and the max on load is 57C. Do you know if there is anyway to set it to where the CPU will only boost the clocks to 4.5ghz if the load becomes necessary. If I use XMP profile or turbo boost in my bios. It just keeps it around 4.3-4.6ghz for some reason. I don't know whether updating my bios changed how turbo boosting works.

I believe that is the "intel enhanced speed step" and your C-states for frequency.  I have always had to use adaptive or offset voltage if I wanted my voltage to fluctuate.  It can be a bit tricky to keep things stable though when pushing close to the limit.

So I found my answer on another forum, it was due to the fact that I had high performance in power options on at all time. Which led to the CPU always running on 4.3 ghz-4.5ghz all the time on all my cores. I set it to balanced and it dropped to 800mhz on idle. If I load up a program or game, it'll boost it up to 4.5ghz
