Is the maximum temperature of 70°C suitable for an i7 7700K at 4.5GHz with Rog Real Bench?
Is the maximum temperature of 70°C suitable for an i7 7700K at 4.5GHz with Rog Real Bench?
I bought an artic cooling liquid freezer 120mm, turned on xmp and set all core enhancement to 4.5 GHz. On the real bench, my maximum temperature reached 70°C. Is that acceptable or a problem?
not with this motherboard when you enable xmp it unlocks turbo boost. I tried disabling xmp and my cpu is still at 4.5ghz. I don't know what to do. I set my bios back to default and it's still at 4.5ghz. Even though the CPU cooler should handle it without issues, the temps are high. I think the Vcore might be too high, so lowering it could help bring the temperatures down.
The main concern is if that temperature is suitable for the voltage you're applying. However, I wouldn't be concerned about this temperature during an overclocked CPU under stress testing.
CountMike replied with a brief acknowledgment. Diellur raised concerns about temperature suitability for the voltage being used, noting that despite the high max temp, stress testing showed instability. The user shared their experience with CPU overclocking limitations, mentioning specific cooling setups and thermal paste results. They questioned whether the cooler was defective or if improper tightening was the issue, and asked if using fingers instead of a screwdriver would resolve the problem.
I didn't just adjust the multiplier, I also changed the Vcore. It might be an issue with the cooler or the Phanteks P400s TG being too hot.
CountMike shared his experience about XMP not affecting CPU overclocking. He explained that on this motherboard, enabling XMP unlocks turbo boost, but disabling it leaves the CPU at 4.5GHz. Despite having a cooler that should handle that speed, he still sees the same performance. He also mentioned resetting the BIOS to default and it remains unchanged.

That's why your temps are high - your cooler is probably OK, you just need to lower the Vcore so the temps are more reasonable.
