Core temp hitting 100c
Core temp hitting 100c
I've just received my new i7 7700k and am attempting to push it to 4.5ghz using 1.28v. My CPU temperatures are currently between 88-90°C, but one of the cores is consistently reaching 100°C max. Is this a positive sign or a warning? And what should I do with the stress test?

Elbert, do you have prime95 installed? The latest updates seem to have issues with Intel. I recommend trying version 26.6 and see if it works.

Yes, I'm using the newest version, but I think that's the cause. Please use the version I linked and test it out.
I usually run Prime95 26.6 with Small FFT for 10 to 30 minutes. Make sure to monitor with Core Temp (I also use HWmonitor and NZXT CAM for verification). Here is a great guide by Computronix.
Prime95 Version 26.6 download link provided.
Some users report newer releases over-volt the CPU beyond safe limits, leading to excessive heat.
HWmonitor reference available for temperature tracking.
Core Temp monitoring tool linked.
Test recommendations using Small FFTs for 10-30 minutes are suggested.
