i7 6700K cores too cold?? Is this normal?

[Angelo312]

I'm using a cryorig h5 universal, and I checked the temps with other programs but it was always the same. Those max temps we're reached with cinebench with  100% load. But those actual core temps... 12,13,11 and 10ºc are weird... to cold. I'm kinda worried. My room is cold too but not that cold I guess.  Also, one more thing, I bought 3000mhz rams 16gb 2X8gb, and activated the xmp profile but instead of running at 1.35v like the advertised voltage, the voltage is at 1.37v... is that bad?

What temperature is your room? 

[corrado33]

How cold is your room? Temps physically cannot be below ambient with water or air. 

 

[Morgan MLGman]

Weird... Those temps simply can't be lower than ambient temperatures of the room that your PC is in, it's physically impossible with an aircooler.

Try other software like HWinfo and report back.

 

As for your RAM, yes, 1,37V is safe.

As long as it's equal or greater to your room temperature you're fine.   If it's cooler than your room, that's bad. You can usually use software by your motherboard manufacturer to adjust fan speeds based on your CPU temperature.

Whats wrong with a cold CPU?

Water droplets start to form around it.  Think about a cold bottle of water.

Condensation. 

Which still is highly unlikely to occur depending on the circumstances, besides not all cold instantly means condensation, here in Brazil at least there are places with very very dry winters which it would be physically impossible to happen, making the colder=the better statement true.

[Angelo312]

When I stress test, the temps jumps from 16ºc to +40ºc in like a second. I installed this cpu yesterday, I really worried..

1. You don't know where the OP lives.
2. If it's colder in Winter, it's sure as hell going to be colder in the summer.

Then use MSi Afterbuner and or HWMonitor to check the reliability of these numbers, it wouldn't be the first time I seen a software go nuts.

It's normal for them to jump that much during a stress test.  The only thing you need to worry about right now is your idle temps.  What motherboard do you have?

The thing is Neither does you, which I said could be as much true as to him as not, it was an informations added that could or not be applied to him and who decides it is the OP, not you.

Download Command Center from here.  You may need to change your OS, as it's set on Windows 10 x64.  Lower the fan speeds up until 25C, then tweak it from there.

Damn fine questions that should probably be answered in order to get to the bottom of this concern.

 

[FrankV]

Perhaps ensure your BIOs is up to date on your motherboard.... I could see an out of date BIOs causing incorrect readings.... 

[steffen_anywhere]

You don't have to worry about condensation. The CPU is certainly not colder than ambient temperature. This looks like a faulty reading, although I'm not sure how one would calibrate this to show proper temperatures. Your CPU will run hotter than that, most certainly.

 

Unless your room is THAT cold, but you havent' confimed that yet  .

If he has the fan cranked up, it might be.  I got my Haswell chip right above my room temperature.

Intel CPUs loose a bit in core temp accuracy the closer they get to their idle temp.  Agreed, condensation is no concern here.

My favorite thing about LTT.  Everyone's willingness to provide all the information that doesn't matter, but can't give the one thing that does.

If you are using power savings features as everyone should, that's exactly where your temps should be in a no load situation.  Right at or above ambient temp provided case temps are handled properly.

If it's too cold, I can totally solve that problem for you. Nothing small FFT Prime95 or LinX can't fix.

You just love cooking silicon.  I'm started to get concerned about you.

Agreed. However, I don't think we should just assume that there's nothing wrong and it's a reading error. Better safe than sorry, right?
