I7-7700k Normal temps?

[COTG]

Wanted to ask if this was a norma voltage and temps for an i7-7700k running at 4.8Ghz overclock. Moving from 4.6 to 4.8Ghz increased the voltage from 1.3 to 1.35 and I wanted to know if this was still considered safe. Furthermore is it normal that there is a 4 degree difference between my hottest and coolest core?

 

here are the temps!

Yeah kaby lake is a toasty chip

whoops.. I forgot to post the picture haha

Well, what ARE your temps?

4°C core difference it totally fine. can even be like 10°C at times.

First off, screenshots are a thing

Second: what cooler are you using?

Third: The 83°C max i'm seeing was just within the quick CPU-Z Benchmark? Try to run IBT (Intel Burn Test) for like 20mins and then see how toasty it gets.

 

EDIT: Because if the 83°C are just after the 30seconds CPU-Z Benchmark then you'll have a bad time.

I'd personally not go over 85°C ever and better only in the 70s in gaming (24/7)

80-100 degrees is normal for a 7700k there isn't much you could do because unfortunately Intel stuck the IHS down with chewing gum

will try the intel burn test now thanks for the recommendation!

what level of stress should you run it at? standard or maximum

Try standard for now.

Too funny and too accurate.

Are you using the motherboard's auto overclocking?  If so, stop.

Yea the only thing he could do is delid it,should drop the temps down by 30c or so. I was thinking about doing it to my 6700k but i am very happy with a 4.8ghz Oc.

hold on.. WHAT?

Yea look it up the temps can go down up to 30c,Intel uses garbage thermal material on most of their cpu's sadly. Also Kabylake gets the most out of a delid than lets say Skylake which gets around a 10c difference from what i have read.

Question,what did you pay on your RX480?

Soldered ihs for the win

i'd say more like 20 but yeah the stock is really that bad. Intel claim its for CPU longevity but i'm kinda calling BS on that because the type of person who buys a K CPU is keeping their CPU for 5-6 years and not 15.

 

EDIT: It is for this reason that Intel say not to overclock the unlocked 7700k to avoid high temps. Which tbh is ludicrous and slap in the face to the consumer who is buying a top tier (of the mainstream) CPU specifically unlocked for overclocking and then being told "yeah i wouldn't do that because we didn't bother to optimise thermals"

not sure, i synced all core and then set the 1-core ratio limit to 48. i did not change the core voltage as I am not familiar with it and dont want to kill my cpu

That's part of your issues with the higher temps. 

 

You're going to want to manually set the VCore a bit lower then what the motherboard automatically sets. If you leave it on auto, it will default to the VID programmed by Intel which is a more then you need in order to maintain general stability. 

 

Try 1.3v or even slightly lower and run some stability tests. If it seems stable, drop it a little more and keep retesting as you go. Once it starts to fail stability tests you know you're as low as you can go. You'll need to add enough back to regain stability, but you should then be running cooler. 

 

For a simple 4.8 GHz overclock with no additional cache clockspeed, I wouldn't be surprised if you could maintain stability as low as 1.15v, if not lower depending on the quality of the chip. 

 

Monitor VCore during your stability testing, not VID.

I'm running this exact OC on my i7 7700k at 1.3v, temps under 100% load are low/mid 60's with a 240mm AIO. (I can confirm exact detail later as I need to set PC up).

[Cl2G]

Stop using nonsense burn tests. 

 

Test stability with Aida 64 or Asus real bench. 

 

Your voltage is way too high 

 

1.325 is the safe level for 24/7 if you want your chip to last. 

 

Delidding will average a 15-20c drop, not 30...

Running the same OC at 1.264v +XMP 3200mhz and somehow get worse temps..Peaks over 80 for brief moments at 100% load with a 280mm AIO. 
OP should be able to get 4.8 at a lower voltage than pictured, so would try to set it to 1.3v and work my way down in order to get the lowest temps and voltage

Im running the Asus 5ghz OC profile. Im Idling 27c.  full load 60-61c
