i7 8700k plus GTX 1080 overclocking – are my temperatures within range?
i7 8700k plus GTX 1080 overclocking – are my temperatures within range?
I have a GTX 1080 and an i7 8700k. My GTX 1080 is a Gigabyte G1 (probably?), and I use an ML240L from Cooler Master to keep my i7 cool. The motherboard is the MSI Z370-A Pro.
I've set my i7 to run at 5.2GHz with a voltage of 1.35V, and idle temperatures range from 37 to 45°C according to Speccy. My 1080 runs at 1860MHz core clock and 6000MHz memory clock, with idle temps around 40-43°C.
My i7's maximum temperature is 77°C, while my 1080 stays below 71°C.
Are these readings acceptable? Could these overclocks shorten the lifespan of my components? I intend to keep this setup for about 8 to 10 years—my previous build lasted well beyond 2012 and remains in good shape, so I hope this one will too.
[email protected]? It seems impossible to stress test it without it crashing. Have you even attempted a stress test before? And if you did, where can you find confirmation about both the overclock and temperature readings? Running a stress test with a 240mm aio on that vcore should push the CPU temperatures into the low 90s.
The graphics card looks realistic, though it seems you're not using it at full memory speed often.
One more point: Speccy isn't trustworthy for system voltage or temperature data. Consider using HWMonitor or AIDA64 (which also offers solid stress testing). Prime95 Version26.6 works well for this purpose. A small FFT test for the CPU will provide solid evidence of stability.
The temperatures at 8700K during idle appear quite elevated... Unless you reside in a very warm region. I’d just confirm the Hardware Info for idle temperatures and verify whether the load temps are around 77 Degrees C in Prime95 or Aida, since that would be excellent. Regarding the GPU, it’s fine.
Your temperatures on the 8700K look normal since you're running at a high frequency. The same applies to your 1080; those temps are also okay because you've overclocked it. Your system should last about 7 to 8 years, but after that it might not hold up for another decade!
The temperatures at 8700K during idle appear quite high... Unless you're from a very warm country. I'd just double-check the hardware information for idle temps and confirm whether the temperatures at load are 77 Degrees C in Prime95 or Aida, since that would be excellent. Regarding the GPU, it's fine. I'm based in the USA, particularly Arizona, where it's extremely hot—around 30-40C. I use Prime95.

Ah, that sounds quite good to me—I'm fine with a lifespan of 7 to 8 years.

The video card looks plausible, though it seems you haven’t tested its memory speed closely enough.
