High CPU temperatures on i7 4790k with Dark Rock 3
High CPU temperatures on i7 4790k with Dark Rock 3
Hey guys!
So during this summer (where I live is usually 30-40C and my room is always at 35C+), I'm trying to play GTA V. While playing, I notice some high temps, at usually 60% / 50% / 40% cpu usage, it hits sometimes up to 80c!! What do you guys suggest?
P.S.: I just changed my thermal paste.
Your CPU can't stay cooler than the surrounding air without special cooling methods like liquid nitrogen, dry ice, or phase-change systems – that goes against the rules of physics.
Despite this, your temperatures are perfectly acceptable considering the high ambient conditions. The CPU temperature should rise in line with the ambient temperature. If a system runs at 20°C outside and hits around 70°C under load, increasing the ambient to 35°C would cause the CPU temperature to rise by the same amount, reaching 85°C.
I recommend not being concerned! These temperatures are safe, and as long as your case stays clean of dust, everything should remain stable.
What CPU cooler do you have? It's the Dark Rock 3. Check if it's cooling your CPU better by opening your case.

Your CPU can't stay cooler than the surrounding air without special cooling methods like liquid nitrogen or dry ice. That goes against the rules of physics. But considering your high ambient temperatures, your CPU temps are actually normal. They should rise with your environment—if the room warms up from 20°C to 35°C, the CPU will too, increasing by about 15 degrees to 85°C. Don't stress too much; these temps won’t damage anything if you keep your case clean. Just be careful to avoid overheating, as it can shorten component life. Thanks!
