AIDA64 91c max 7700k
My i7 7700k is operating at 1.27v and I'm using AIDA64 to evaluate it. Thus far it's stable at this setting, whereas 1.265v caused issues and I'm at 4.9Ghz. Both hwinfo and AIDA64 report the maximum temperature reached was 91°C during testing. Is this acceptable for gaming? Since I stress test with AIDA64 which can cause overheating, should I lower the voltage or cut the clock speed?
Never experience AIDA64 stress in everyday conditions; I suggest using Realbench by ROG for the most accurate real-world evaluation. Your system will remain stable if you succeed on Realbench.
Maintain a low core voltage for optimal performance, regardless of your desired frequency.

Rubbish.
AIDA64 stands out with the best hardware detection features available and offers a full package including stress tests for RAM, GPU, and local drives.
Prime95 has been problematic for years, especially after AVX2 was introduced. Running it can lead to overheating and damage on Haswell-E processors. It’s a weak thermal test that mainly targets cache and AVX units, not the whole processor. Even if you claim Prime95 is stable, other components may still fail.
P95 is a challenging test, and some experts suggest running it overnight unattended to demonstrate its reliability. It’s like leaving your foot on the gas in a car—clearly not a safe idea.
I didn't use the program after Aida was installed because it's no longer needed for stress testing. My advice came only from my own experience with stress testing and system stability.
Yah, I reduced the fan speed back to the standard setting except for the CPU fan, which I kept as performance. Then I adjusted the voltage to 1.265 and the clock speed down to 4.8 instead of 4.9, and also decreased the CPU cache ratio by one to maintain a 4-to-clock relationship. It looks stable now, with max temps on Aida64 at 90 and during normal benchmarking the highest it reached was 83. I might even consider lowering the CPU fan speed next.
