CPU Temps

I'm running Prime95 on a stock 4770K to see temps with an H100i and I'm getting two different results. Corsair Link and Realtemp are reporting temps in the 80 degree mark while Speedfan and AI Suite are showing temps in the mid 60's. Which is the most reliable solution? It's hard to believe that at stock speeds a 4770K is at 80degrees..

It's hard to believe you'd be getting 60* with a H100i at stock.... Unless you have some really bad ambient temps.

Try reseating the block and possibly re-paste it just to be sure, could be a bad mount. Try out Speccy and CoreTemp and see what they give you for readings too.

Has Prime95 been updated for Haswell? It caused increased voltage(outside of the set spec) on Haswell. Try using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.

I would only use one monitoring temperature program as it can conflict with each other. I think Asus is the most accurate (I may be wrong about this) because I think that they have their own sensors that AI Suite 3 reads from. Or you could close AI Suite 3 and use coretemp. I would use AIDA64 or Intel XTU for stress test.

I think that was the issue. I ran Intel utility and max temp was 59. Looking at Prime 95 it immediately spikes the voltage to 1.264.
