CPU Temp

Hey guys,

 

So i have a 7700k running at stock speeds paired with a dark rock 3 cooler. I'm getting 60 C on about 35% utilization, does that not seem a bit high?

It could be, I would perform a stress test if it gets really bad it could be you need to reapply thermal paste or remount the cooler.

how is ur cooler mounted ? which way is the cooler facing ? If its facing towards the gpu then thats ur problem, but if its not, i suggest getting better thermal paste

Without also knowing the ambient temperature and the cooler fans RPM, how good/bad airflow your case has... difficult to say

It's mounted the right way, and i wish taking off that cooler and reinstalling was as easy as it sounds

35% load temp is a bad measure. The only temperature you should be looking at should be the temperature under 100% load. (Like with Intel Burn Test or something like that)

BabyPCMR, We kinda need some more information. I would suggest getting the idle temp for about 30mins, full load temp for about 30mins. Also, what are the fans RPM? Are they ramping up when under load? I second the advise of removing the cooler, cleaning, adding new paste, and reseatting it.

 

Definitely 60c at around 35% load (this should have if not the same, close to the temps of idle) is too much if your room is at 60F.
