i7 6700k 4.0 core temps
I was running prime95 with the Blend test and after roughly ten minutes my cores reached about 99 degrees Celsius, so I stopped the test.
My setup:
i7 6700k (oc to 4.5)
Asus ROG Maximus VII hero
H100i v2 water cooler
ASUS ROG STRIX 1080 GTX
G.Skill F4-3200 16gb DDR4 (8gb x 8gb)
Power supply is an EVGA 850BQ
The case is the Corsair 750d airflow edition
With the water cooler, shouldn’t it be cooler? I’m currently around 22 to 30 Celsius.

With the cooler in place, shouldn't the temperature be lower?
Here are the suggested temperature ranges:
80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm (70C)
60C Normal (50C)
40C Normal (30C)
25C Cool (Idle)
Which Prime95 version were you using?
Please note: No versions after 26.6 should be run.
This is why: Core i2nd through 6th Gen CPUs support AVX (Advanced Vector...
I know now that I'm using the same CPU in an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming MOBO, idling between 19c and 20c with air cooling. You should probably inspect your thermal paste, as it might be too thick or too thin.
I'm using the compound the manufacturer put on. Ahhhh, I forgot the Coolers had it or at least Corsair does. I bought a cooler that turned out wouldn't fit in my case. I had taken it out since I planned to use the AS 5 I have. That should be okay though. I got the H80i GT.
I'm experiencing the same issue again... It's really frustrating.

The recommended temperature range for core temps is: 80C – Hot (100% load) 75C – Warm (70C) 60C – Normal (50C) 30C – Cool (25C) Prime95 versions should be checked: Which version were you using? Please avoid any Prime95 releases after 26.6. Here’s why: Modern CPUs with AVX instructions can cause excessive heat when tested at full load. The AIDA64 test confirms this. Prime95 v26.6 generates higher temperatures on newer processors compared to older ones, even though they have AVX support. To get accurate readings, run only small FFTs for 10 minutes and use Core Temp to check your temps – the site suggests it will be 10–20°C lower with v26.6. Flash80: My temperature is around 22–30°C. What’s your room temperature? Also known as “room temp,” this is the air temperature at your computer’s intake. The standard ambient setting is 22°C, which is normal. This value serves as a reference for Intel’s thermal specs. Knowing your ambient temperature matters because it directly influences all system temps. Use a reliable thermometer to measure it. Temperature conversions and a brief guide are provided. With v26.6 you’ll see a 30°C drop compared to v28.9. Flash80: I’m sitting at about 22–30°C. What’s the ambient temperature? This is the air temperature measured by your PC’s intake. A typical room temp is around 22°C, which is normal. It’s a reference point for Intel’s thermal guidelines. Understanding this helps because ambient directly affects component temperatures. Use any analog, digital, or IR thermometer to get an accurate reading. Here are the conversion details and a short table: Cx9/5+32=F … or F-32/9x5 = C … roughly 1°C change equals ~1.8°F 30.0°C = 86.0°F 29.0°C = 84.2°F 28.0°C = 82.4°F 27.0°C = 80.6°F 26.0°C = 78.8°F Warm 25.0°C = 77.0°F 24.0°C = 75.2°F 23.0°C = 73.4°F 22.0°C = 71.6°F Norm … or 22.2°C = 72.0°F 21.0°C = 69.8°F 20.0°C = 68.0°F 19.0°C = 66.2°F 18.0°C = 64.4°F Cool When your system starts up from cold, all parts begin at ambient temperature, so temps rise accordingly. With standard cooling methods, you can’t lower temperatures below ambient. Higher ambient temps reduce thermal headroom and limit overclocking. Also, consider reading the Intel Temperature Guide:
My setup includes the NZXT H440W, MSI Tomahawk Z170 AC, i7 6700K at 1.350v, 16 GB HyperX Fury DDR4 2400MHz, Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070, Corsair H100i v2, WD Blue 1TB, Kingston SSD 240GB, and EVGA G2 750w. I'm running ADIA64 and putting stress on everything except the drives and RAM. I'm keeping an eye on temperatures using HWMonitor.
