new haswell i7 setup temperature issue

Hi sir/mam/ate/kuya,

Mangutana napud ko.

I recently assisted a friend to buy a new pc. iya nahan is a fast pc na pang gaming then dugay pa mag need ug upgrade. then he said dako siya budget so i hooked him up with a haswell based na system with i7 procie... mao ni ang specs.

i7 4770 haswell CPU
gigabyte h87m d3h MOBO
2x4gb crucial ballistix elite RAM
1 terabyte wd blue HDD
sapphire amd radeon 7790 1gb ddr5 GPU
silverstone strider essentials 500w PSU
cooler master k550 mid tower CASE
2x stock fan 1 intake 1 exhaust
1x generic fan exhaust top
1x silverstone fan with red led front intake

Ang issue is, at minimum load, ang cpu temp mu register sa core temp is @ 40 C, so murag ok ra since stock fan man gamit. pero amo gipa run ug prime 95 using small FFTs na stress test, ang temperature is at 80 C na at average then mu saka until 90 C or higher. wala pa nuon ni shutdown, pero alarming lang para nako. Normal rani siya for haswell? using stock fan? All bios settings were reset to default. no overclocking was made or any tweaks.

Unsa inyo mga inputs/advice/comments/suggestions ani sir/mam/ate/kuya?

Screenshots below. If ma notice ninyo nag downclock siya at minimum na cpu load. then pag 100% ni saka na iya cpu frequency.

Minimum load:


at 100% load prime 95 small FFTs (ingon ako friend 2 hours daw niya gipa run ang prime 95 not sure kay wala ko sa ila pag test ako ra gipa test sa iya.)

Well it's stock cooling. What did you expect? Haswell does run hot though, like it's predecessor ( Ivybridge ). I'd rule out getting an aftermarket aio cooler since the processor is locked. If all he does is gaming and no cpu intensive tasks it is most unlikely it will reach 90c. But if he wants the processor to run cool anyway you can start with a decent hsf cooler around 1.5k range.

lousy stock cooler... replace if it bothers u.

[sleepyantz]

hmmm salamat sa inyo inputs. pero sure jud na mu abot 90 C? i asked a friend to run prime 95 on haswell i5 small FFTs gihapon it is around 65 C. pero dili nako ma compare straight gud kay lahi sila na cpu model. Reason man gud ani i asked him to burn in the pc run prime 95 for 24 hours aron ma check namo stability basin naa issues sa components.

[Sempron Guy]

Daghan factors why init. Ambient, case temp, how tight the cooler was mounted etc. You can never do apple-apples comparison unless both are tested on the same system. I saw that 90c before on prime. It was on my friend's i7-3770k on stock cooling. Factors aside, the main reason why the i5 is cooler because of the thread count. That's 4 vs 8. More threads, more heat.

[sleepyantz]

mao sad... sir @Sempron Guy ,so if that's the case na naka test ka sa imo friend na 90 C on an ivy bridge i7, murag sakto2 jud diay ni na readings jud. given na mas init ang haswell kaysa ivy. nahan lang ko mu run siya cooler aron healthy ang components. im sure ok ra ang ambient temp then sakto ra pud ang internal na air flow sa case. decide lang nya if mu dayon sa aftermarket cooler or not.

thanks balik sir!

normal ra na nga temps...

replace cooler nalang...

[sleepyantz]

haha murag ingon ana nalang jud boss bim. unsa inyo ma suggest na cooler ani?

Big air cooler? or Closed loop water cooling? ok raman siya sa closed loop na water cooling unsa inyo ma suggest?

depende nimu sir.. kung unsa imung gusto... dual 120mm rad lng para sa closed loop.. arun ma.satisfy jud kas temps ...

looks about right.. if youv'e got the cash for an i7 procie.. you better be prepared to dish out for a proper air cooler.. since the case your using isnt really optimized for tower heatsink cooling, get a C type air cooler.. or a closed loop cooler
