Very High temps on a 4790k running stock (4.4ghz)

[DreaderX]

---

Still too high at 1.27v.

I googled and the results i got was that some boards have a preset with the 4790k. Somewhat like Multicore enhancement or Performance mode. No need to worry. Just tune your voltages or simply rma your cpu if youre not too happy with the temps.

Boss, unsa requirement or procedure anang RMA? sa pc quickbuys nako ni npalit.

Tried reading this thread from Intel Community for almost 2 hours already. .lot of users also experienced this problem. .

I was able to also read other users experiencing high temps running Prime95 compared to other stress test application. Better try using Intel XTU and Intel Thermal Test apps.

Are you using your rig for rendering or heavy multimedia/transcoding?

Yes, most of the time if not gaming.

did some stress tests on my system and here's the results

Prime95 v26 (one of the comments from wylliexhan's link recommended using this version instead of v28 and i've tested that v28 has high temps compared to v26)



Intel XTU





using stock thermal paste from Maelstrom 240 and i'm planning to replace it with Tuniq TX-4(Fine Upgrades) or Arctic Silver 5/MX-4(rarely seen these days)

You really have a nice CPU out there. 4.4Ghz @ 1.145V 65-70C . .

Mao ni nakabati sa Haswell, i'm using i7-4770k. .4.2Ghz @ 1.220V . .temps are reaching 65-70C..

I can't even reach to 4.4Ghz unless i 1.3V nako, but it's no longer safe on my side temps are reaching 85C-90C..

As much as i wanted to OC my CPU more, but i'll just stay with 4.2ghz

i see...gamay pa kaau kog knowledge aning overclocking mao ako gamit EasyTune nga app ra from gigabyte and wala pud ko giusab sa bios ani
ask lng ko..if mo abot og 1.3v+ imong CPU voltage its not safe already? as what they've said na it would lessen the life of your processor if voltage is high and of course it will also run hotter(power consumption also).

last time nag run kog prime95 around 2pm and temp reaches upto 90deg which is quite high so i think its from the room temp which is also hot around 32-33..

lastly, i've seen most of the people use 1.25v. is it the least voltage for and factory overclocked processors?

If the core voltage increases, your temps also increases, and yes increasing core voltage would lessen the life of your CPU. Basically, since you are using i7-4790k, 4.4Ghz is just the turbo boost clock of your CPU, you're not actually manually overclocking it. It would be better if you OC it on the BIOS. Yes, I can say that you really have a good CPU cuz' the fact is 4.4Ghz and it is still running at 1.145V. Swerte2 ra jd na siya, most people using i7-4790k running at 4.4Ghz boost is at 1.2V+ above, naay dimalason nga 1.3V already.. So, since you really have a lucky and good CPU, try manually OCing it through the BIOS, increasing the frequency speed and core voltage. . maybe you can limit it until 1.25V-1.30V to be in the safe side.. also you need to be aware of the the temperature as your increase the core voltage and frequency speed. .as you increase each of them, run stress test first to make it sure if it's stable already or not.. If you increase the freq. speed by 100mhz, i recommend it increasing the core voltage by 0.03 until you are stable..

i see...i need to research more about this matter and apply precautions like applying better thermal paste and etc...thanks pud sa imong inputs really helped kay ako uban nabasahan sa forums dli nako dayon masabtan...
