The i78700k runs smoothly at 4.7 ghz with a 360 aio liquid cooler, maintaining idle temps between 38°C and 45°C during gaming. At around 65-75°C and occasional peaks above 83°C, it's safe to continue using it.
The Coffee Lake CPU tends to run hotter regardless. Its maximum temperatures remain within the acceptable range and are considered safe. It might perform even better. Verify your voltage on the O/C, ensure the thermal compound is in good condition, reapply if necessary, and confirm there are no air restrictions in the cooling system. Keep the area dust-free and maintain proper airflow.
