i5 4690k high temps

so installed the new cpu cooler and getting much better temps. Idle 24 and prime 95 15 mins 54. Must have been the poor screws that my old cooler had. Thanks for everyones input
 
Just up the multiplier, you'll do 4ghz on stock voltage I reckon, in fact I think mine ran 4ghz with a voltage drop...

Beware results from other people regarding temps etc, fan speeds and coolers vary massively. I'm at 4.5ghz as psidetracked is but I see 65-70 degrees when gaming and that is on a Dark Rock Pro 3 which is a decent piece better than an hyper 212, mainly because I have it set to run at min fan speeds right up to about 75 degrees as noise performance is of higher priority to me.

tis true, tbh I've got a lot of case fans hooked up to the case pwm hub and I usually wear headphones so noise is not an issue with me. Also I'm going off the motherboard LED temp readout so its probably lies
 
Used easy tune last night and overclocked to 4.1. Seemed too easy to do it using easy tune. Is it OK to overclocked through that or better through the BIOS before windows starts.
 
Do not use Prime, Linx, Aida 64 or other programs that use AVX instructions with Haswell. AVX instructions hammer Haswell and if using adaptive or offset voltage can force it to draw a extra 0.1v. This has been well documented. If you want to run a stress test then run Asus realbench looped.
 
It shouldn't be that hot no. I ran prime 95 on my 3770k, sisters 3570k at 4.5ghz under 70c. That was with a hyper 212 cooler.

Sounds like poor contact or paste not fitted right.

Either way it should not get that hot.

I stand corrected. Even so, prime is not a good indication of everyday temps as nothing will heat a cpu up that much in normal use.

Aye, but the point is not so much for checking temps as much as it is for stability.

Some folk like certain stress testers because they concour with what ever application they like to use, example for me would be if the pc is IBT stable, then it *will* be arma stable.

Just pointing out that you can still use a version of prime without the extra instructions and heat really :)
