Another I7-7700k temps post

[ivryk]

Hope you guys are doing great!, thank you for taking your time to read this post.

 

So I've an i7-7700k running at 4.8ghz, using the "cpu upgrade" function from my motherboard ( Z270x Gaming K7 ), voltage is around 1.23v~1.30v, ran Aida 64/Realbench for 2hrs without crash, quite afraid of Prime95. however during those tests my temps ranged from 82c~88c with spikes to the 94s, however, during games/Cinebench/3dmark it's around 60c~72c. I am currently using a Noctua NH-D14, should I switch to an AIO? try to lower the voltage? or are those temps sorta normal'ish for air?

 

Note: Wont delidd the cpu, not that brave.

Well, deliding is your best option. Pretty well documented that the heat spreader doesn't make contact with the die.

Oh man :(, will 65~75c, degrade the processor's life span?, i am quite sure those high temps in aida/realbench are cuz avx instrucitons, just gotta avoid those i guess.

80c is the max you can go, 4.8ghz is respectable.

65-75c won't, odds are you'll want to update way before you run out of life. But going over 80 is something I try and avoid.

Thanks for the feed back, much appreciated. Will an AIO help? or will it eventually reach same temps as my current NH-D14?

It can't hurt to run an AIO, if you have the budget go for it.

Alright, thanks, will do.

not likely.

 

honest, delid. the rockit88 tool is da bomb. i have one, used it on my BRAND NEW 6700k, and it was STUNNING to see how much the temps improved. Everything everyone says about delidding dropping temps happened for me. There is a thread here about it.

OP said, not comfortable so let's leave it at that.

agreed, okay fair enough.

The only thing you gain with an AIO is less noise.. Temps will be pretty much the same. I run neptun 240M with 4 fans @20% speed all the time.. CPU never goes above 72 (6700k @4.5ghz, 1.25vcoe) If I push the fans on AIO, I get around 65 on stress test, but not worth the noise.. I could OC my chip to 4.8, but I rather have a quiet and cool PC than some loud cow.

 

Leave it where it is. It's good enough

Disable that "cpu upgrade" and OC manually, that will solve your temp issues - dial in a manual voltage, never let the mobo do whatever it wants to.
