Haswell runs HOT due to the integrated vrm and 22nm lithography, those temps are quite normal. What thermal paste are you currently using?.

Those stock clocks are a bit high.

If you left it at default settings with the voltage on auto, that's normal.

Okay so i have recently bought an i5 4670k and my temps right now are quite high even thought i havent overclocked it yet. Its at 40c idle and 70c Load. Is this normal or weird? I am currently using a xigmatek dark knight cpu cooler.

 

 

I was told that they run around 13 degrees hotter then gen 3. but your temps do seam high to me. they say you can run them to 95 degrees c before problems but I would put a water cooler on it to be safe should keep it under 70 degrees

I'm currently using the stock thermal paste that came with my aftermarket cooler. Also, will my room temperature also affect how hot my cpu will be?

Yes, it effects idle but doesn't make load go up any more in respect to the original load.

Yes. If your room temp raises 1c, your cpu temp raises 1c.

70 C load temps are fine. 75C and up in real world stuff, is when you have to start wondering.

 

Now as far if it is normal. Depends what you are doing op. If it is Intel Burn Test or a second round of prime or prime other then blend? That is normal. You are never gonna see those temps on your chip in normal use. If it is Aida? That is way too high. If it is a game? That is way too high. If it is rendering that is way too high. 

 

I have a VERY similar fan as you (hyper 212 evo in push/pull) andI have the 4770k which add's 10 degrees (HT) and at 1.150 volts I render at a little above 60C (use cinebench r 15 or asus realbench and h.264 which simulated handbreak). At 1.22 I render at 71C on the top core. Aida. 75 tops. Second round of prime blend? That can spike up to low 80's and is why people don't stress test with prime much anymore on Haswell's unless they are on water cooling.

 

You might find if you get 4ghz on like 1-1.1 (all chips are different) your temps might be same or lower if your mb is spiking the hell out of your voltage on turbo. If your board is set to adaptive? The chip will use whatever the MB tells it too and it is usually way too damn high.

 

Adaptive volts and stress tests on haswell ain't good. I don't bother using them at all. Out of curiosity what did your board set your chip to at stock voltage? I know some put them absurdly high. Mine had stock at like 1.050 and I can run stock at 1.015 override and prime in the 40's with a high of 50 lol. You may be able to run at like 1 volt on a I5.

 

If you are at like stock 1.020 or something with normal voltage settings you shouldn't be anywhere close to 70 on rendering. The idle temps are what seem way off with that cooler. My chip idles in the 20's, with the stock fan it idled in the 30's (stock fan was horrible under load though) and the I7 runs hotter then the I5.

 

Either voltage is off, thermal grease is off, or the cooler isn't sitting on the cpu right.

Might  the weird idle temps be due to the fact that my ambient temperature is always 30c++? I live in a hot country. :/

Your idle temps aren't weird.

as long as it's not over 87 degrees celcius on load you're good :)

What an odd number..
