Nodgiles Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 What's the max temp for a 4790K? In AIDA64 I'm showing a CPU temp of a solid 57 under load, but the core temps spike from ~55-75 constantly. Is this something to be concerned about? Based on the CPU temp and the current voltage, I was thinking of shooting for 5GHz, but got hesitant. Thoughts?

El_Capitan Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Either the TIM needs to be redone, or the IHS TIM is causing the heat spikes. I would highly recommend delidding the CPU and putting in better IHS TIM, temps won't be as much of an issue then as long as you have great cooling (like custom watercooling with a 120.3 or 120.4 radiator with fans in push/pull).

Waco Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 Already at 4.8 GHz? 75 isn't bad at all, throttling doesn't kick in till 100 C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodgiles Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 I'm using the Corsair H105. If I went the delidding route, what would I use as a replacement? Is there an aftermarket HS I can buy? A quick google search revealed nothing to me. Last time I delided a CPU was a core2duo and I never felt like my aftermarket heatsink ever really fit on quite right afterwards. Plus the panic of scrapping around a $300 chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_cow Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 danm if you are at 4.8ghz and only 75c thats freaking amazing. You have a good chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
