3770K Prime95 temps

[Rossdh]

Hi folks. Just moved to IB and Z77 and have sent last night and today getting used to the new UEFI and Asus software. At the moment I am running my CPU, an i7-3770K, at 4.4GHz at around 1.26v using Prime95 blend to stress it. All seems good at the moment with temps around 55 degrees but I have noticed at certain parts of the stress test, they shoot up to 67. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I take it that when it does this, it a VERY intensive part of the test that probably won't reflect a real load situation? Also in regards to temps, I am using CoreTemp which is reporting around 50 degrees per core and I also have Asus TurboV EVO open and that is giving a CPU temp of 40 degrees. What do I go by, as at the moment I am believing CoreTemp.

I'd just use coretemp as its what everbody uses, so easier for comparisons.

I have an asus and asrock motherboard. Using the asus utility, it reports lower temps under load than coretemp but the asrock utility reports the highest core.

The temps are fine as the ivybridge cpu's run hotter than sandybridge... if you want to really stress the cpu to the max and find your highest temps, try intel burn test.

As for the temps jumping, I assume your running the blend test? (nevermind, i should real posts through better ) When it jumps its probably a small fft test, as they give higher temps.

Thanks for the response. I'll keep testing 4.4GHz today and maybe move on to 4.6 later on in the week!

i always believed asus suite personally. when core temp tells me my core is cooler than the outside i get skeptic

when only doing minor things core temp will tell me around 10 -20 degrees but i have asus suite telling me 35 degrees. how on earth can the cores be cooler than the air inside the case let alone cooler than room temps

idle temps are unreliable.. especially with amd cpu's

try a stress test and check coretemp then to see if it makes more sense

What cpu is that? Asus suite will be reading the tcase temp more than likely, so that 35C could likely be 45C+ 'core' really. No idea why coretemp is reading so low, is it an old version or an AMD cpu?

core temp or realtemp are good
