CPU Temps while gaming

[somerandomguy12]

Hey guys,

I hate my CPU temps going high and my i5 4460 gets to 67-69C while gaming on BF1.

Should I be concerned?

my cooler is the Raijintek Aidos.

Somewhat high for Haswell but overall not terrible. Worry should come if it approaches 90C.

is to worth spending more on a better cooler?

That's a bit high. Here is my CPU temps for Crysis 3

I also have the RX 480. What cooler do you have?

Stock cooler.

Is your processor overclocked right now? If it's not, yes get a new one so you'll have more headroom. If it is then I would still get one just for cooler temps; in my experience cooler temps increase longevity of components. I watercool both my CPU and GPU and don't even overclock just because I like my shit to be nice and cool

[Guest]

Though the temps are not really to the point it will blow up or something

Reapply thermal paste.

What is CPU usage?

It is a non k so.. not over clocked. What CPU cooler do you recommend as I can't fit the 212 EVO in my case. (155mm max headsink)

Wow I had a blonde moment, didn't even notice the lack of a k SKU. Whoops. Anyway, are you against water cooling? Most are very low profile and you can a descent one for around $50 if you catch a deal. What kind of case do you have anyway?

Reapply thermal paste and see if it fixes. Other people playing i5 4460 on BF1 has temps around 50 too. Though 70 is not something to worry at all

I have a ThermalTake Versa H15 (Micro ATX and 155 max headsink) I an not against water cooling however, I am on a budget (under £30 (50 USD)) and I am inexperienced with water cooling

Alright Thermal Paste?

Yeah but again. 70 is not something I should worry.

Would the TX3 EVO be a good solution?

That cooler should do better than that. What TIM are you using and how is case air flow?

I dont know that TIM is but I am using a push air flow system with 2 intake 1 outtake. I use the MX2 thermal paste.

TIM = Thermal Interface Material. How's the coverage? 2 Intakes and an outtake should provide plenty of airflow unless they're at like 30% speed. Maybe reapply the thermal compound and see does it help, but it should be better than that. I HIGHLY doubt the heat pipes are bad, it could just be your CPU's a particularly hot one or BF1 is hitting all 4 cores at once, which it does.

I did the rice grain method on the thermal paste. I am actually running BF1 under minimum specs of BF1! (a 4690k which I think is ridiculous) and it is mostly at 100% utilisation. Could that be it? However, CS:Go runs at 65C

Would the i5 being a OEM one explain it?

Is the fan working ok? That thermal compound is kinda old though, released between 2008/2009, so while it doesn't technically have a shelf life, it wouldn't hurt to buy some IC diamond or newer type of thermal compound. Make sure the fan spins freely feel the actual heatsink, make sure it's making good contact with good mounting pressure, and see how hot the fin stack is, if the CPU is hot but the cooler isn't, then there might be a bad mount, if the whole thing is hot then it's not up to par, and a replacement should be considered, 70°C is what I expect from a stock cooler.

No, OEM ones aren't all that different, you said 4460 right?

yes, i5 4460. I might get a new cpu cooler and paste then.
