Posted February 15, 2018 Good Morning, I removed my 2600K and upgraded to a 8700K I still using my Noctua NH-D15 cooler. I noticed that temps were hitting low 80's under BF1 load. This concerned me and I did research and found that Asus turns on a feature by default called Asus Multi-Core Enhancement. I turned them off, I haven't attempted any Overclocking. Currently my processor has maxed out at 66 degree C and idles about 26-27. Are these temps the norm or is my Air Cooler not performing properly I'm a fan of water cooling but I have not experience with it and as such I'm not going to "hope" that I do it right as for AIO's I have one (h100) and after 2 years it wasn't performing well.

Posted February 15, 2018 For Intel, anything below 100 is fine, 90 is probably where you want to stay below during longer loads, 66 degrees is completely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 15, 2018 66C at stock is pretty good, the NH-D15 should see you off with perfectly fine temps I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays... nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

What MB are you using? How did you turn that off? Just got a Strix E and found my 8700K temps went up even tho still using the H100i V2.

There's a BIOS setting, I believe it is featured in every BIOS for Intel CPUs above Skylake. OP: 66c is pretty good, usually you want your load temps to be in that region.

Posted February 15, 2018 38 minutes ago, Majorpayne said: with the ASUS experience i don't remember but currently 1.379 max That's super-high voltage for stock clocks. You can probably drop it to 1.2V and be fine. Or even lower if chip is average or better. ^^^^ That's my post ^^^^ <-- This is me --- That's your scrollbar --> vvvv Who's there? vvvv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
