Seeking information on i7 4790k temps

[Krita]

Hello, I recently installed a Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite ML240L RGB AIO on my i7 4790k setup. My idle temps are 43c but yet my liquid cooled 1070ti is at 34c and again this is on idle from just say watching youtube.

Those temperatures are not abnormal and nothing to worry about.

 

If it helps:

I always use these typical operating ranges for the core temperature (at 22 °C standard ambient temperature): 

 

80 °C  Hot         (100% Load)
75 °C  Warm 
70 °C  Warm     (Heavy Load)
60 °C  Normal
50 °C  Normal   (Medium Load)
40 °C  Normal
30 °C  Cool       (Idle)

Depends on the settings. If your clocks and voltage don’t drop at idle, neither will temps. So being at 40 would be close to that. Also depends on the fans and ambient. 

 

I wouldnt worry about idle much as load temps. Never had a chance to use my 4790k with a clc so no idea how it would act compare to my others.

welcome to the Linus Tech Tips forums!

 

if stock (no overclock) your idle temps (not really an issue) should be 3°-5° above ambient. your coolant temperature is prolly near ambient, so your CPU should be 36°-39°.

idle 43° is close, but prolly not the best. check to see if the TIM application is covering the IHS. more importantly, what are your temps under a 100% load?

Indeed!

@Krita what is more important is knowing your temperatures under full load.
