4790k @ 4.6 & H110i GTX

mufc802 · 18 Jul 2015 at 09:57

I get 82 degrees after an hour of Realbench. Is that temp reasonable for such an expensive cooler? Its 1.272v.

Edit:
I tried 4.7GHz using 1.32v and the temps max at 91 degrees. Is it worth delidding this chip? I read you can reduce by around 10 degrees.

Yep, 82c is pretty ok at that speed with that cooler. Get 83 max at 4.7 here on 1.300v with a dual tower k2 air cooler.

Seems a bit high for water cooling?

Water be it custom or aio don't make a big difference over air on haswell. Particularly if running any kind of stress test. Real bench being the safest to use. Fire up the latest p95 or Intel burn test, at stock speed your temps will be in the 90's no matter what cooler you use.

really? glad Im going X99. Those temps seems a little much for just 4.6.

Sorry it double posted, god knows why.

My H105 is a little bit cooler that my Themis not so much in highest temp but the minimum is definitely lower. 4.6 with 1.26v

setter · 18 Jul 2015 at 11:12

Temps in normal use for me are usually mid to high 60's. But both 4790k's I've owned have hit the mid 90's at stock using p95 ver 28.5.

savagesam117 · 18 Jul 2015 at 11:18

Mine in normal use (I mean gaming

) are high 50's and low 60's and then mid 70's in stress. Took the OC off though as i can't notice it and just pop it on for benchmarks

So your Idle temps are high 60's ? I knew haswel where a little hotter but thats mad.

Idle temps with my 4790k @4700 1.30v + H105 (2 SP120 QE Push +2 AF120 QE Pull) are around 29-33. Games push it to around 60 and several hours of h264 encoding to around 70-75. It did hit 80 when encoding while we had that really hot few days

Well tbh mate, when I first got the 4790k I had to use the stock cooler for a few days until I got new thermal paste. Idle temps with it were in the 50's. Absolutely terrible excuse for a cooler. Think I broke a record for cooler installation when I got new paste in.

MadMatty · 18 Jul 2015 at 13:55

The Stock 4790k cooler seems really feeble and half the size of the one that came with my Q6600.

Folding and gaming underwater and low to mid 60's is as hot as it gets at 4.5 and 1.18v.

From what ive seen from youtuber's benchmark's they are pretty much even but you can run the fans on the H110i slower, so less noise. I've wondered since the release of the new coolers why the H110i is a GT and why the H100i is a GTX.
