7700k overclock & temps
7700k overclock & temps
Hi all,
I recently increased my 7700k to 4.8ghz with core volt at 1.25. So far, I haven't encountered any stability problems. However, during CPU burn tests at full load, temperatures reach around 80-85°C. General gaming stays between 50-60°C.
The main concern is my cooler, a CoolerMaster masterliquid pro 240. I expect the temps to be slightly lower with this setup. The fan speeds on the radiator appear to hover around 1700rpm, both at idle and under load, without changing much as temperatures rise.
I live in a warm climate, so idle temperatures are roughly 32-34°C for the case and CPU, which is about 35-40°C. Should I be worried about these readings? Considering the overclock level and idle start temperature.
Cheers
I prefer to use adaptive once I have identified my final OC and it operates smoothly. Until then, I run manually.
Some boards tend to overvolt on auto, but this doesn't appear to be the issue with your board.
Monitor those temperatures closely.
There are now at least 252 pages of Kaby Lake OC information available:

Currently, Intel is recommending against users increasing the clock speed of the i7-7700k due to temperature concerns. You can find more details at the provided link. Despite using top-tier cooling solutions, your temperatures appear manageable, but to prevent any complications, it's best to refrain from overclocking until Intel addresses this problem.

With such high ambient temps, you're probably fine. In fact, this suggests your chip is handling heat well—definitely a good sign!

With ambient temps that high, you have nothing to worry about.
In fact, I'd say you've got a pretty sweat chip.
I would definitely push the overclock further!
Nice, I'll have a bit more of a play around with it. Also, any suggestions for CPU Voltage Mode? Adaptive or Override? I've set it to Auto at the moment because I wasn't too sure.
