7700k Temp question

[hades26]

So nooby question and I am looking for some peace of mind. I am testing out my 7700k and I curious about my temps.

I come from an i5 that ran just a basic MSI boost from there bios on an evo 212 cooler.

I have read that the 7700k run a bit on the warmer side.

 

I am using Handbrake encoding to test (maybe not the best test) ambient temp ares around 28 to 30 C

 

I installed the new kraken x52 AIO 

 

I have an Asus z270e board and when i have the optimization set to normal bios, run an encode, temps go from ambient to 64 to 67 C

 

When I set the optimization to performance in the bios, then run an encode, temps go from ambient to 80 to 82 C almost instantly

 

i know that cpu temps going over 80 are not recommended, but is that safe? Could it be a voltage issue with the auto performance adjusting?

 

I have the kraken cooler set to performance mode but i never see the fan speed go above 50 percent or the pump rpm to go over 2200.... I am new to water cooling but I just figured the temps would be better than that... I have made sure i seated the cooler right. I even took it apart and reapplied thermal past to be 100% positive. Could it be the CAM software isn't very accurate?

 

Any insight is appreciated!!!

use hw monitor for a better monitoring software

I will run some tests with hw monitor instead! Any insight on the temps? Do they look normal otherwise?

over 80 is safe but might be bit high for x52

Over 80 is quite common with the 7700k. It's a really hot chip.

Any tips for getting it down? I have disassembled and reassembled it to be sure it had it on correctly even reapplied thermal paste. I played with the pump speed manually but it didnt seem to change the results much.. Or is it something that I just deal with lol

Custom loop my friend, besides that, lower vcore, or lower clocks etc
