Is this normal?
Hi, I have an intel core i5 4690k that's overclocked to 4.2 ghz with a vcore of 1.1v. When I run prime95 small fft's, none of the cores ever exceed 60 degrees Celsius. But after playing a game, if I run prime95, one core can rise all the way to 72 degrees Celsius. I think this is probably the GPU releasing excess heat into the case, but are these temperatures typical? I have an h440 with three 120mm intake fans and a single 140mm exhaust fan. Thanks, Max
your system won't experience that much stress in real-world use. the more you push it, the hotter it becomes. running a game and p95 at the same time is completely unnecessary for overheating the processor. a p95 v26.6 small fft by itself is enough to test your overclocking.
on a side note, 72c is acceptable. 77c is near the upper limit you should reach at any moment. 80c is okay during p95 testing when spikes occur. the highest vcore you should use on that chip is 1.3. you might be able to go a bit higher. i'd suggest increasing it to 4.6ghz at around 1.25v and see how it performs. then reduce the clock speed by .05 until you stop failing. if temperatures are too high, lower the voltage until they become manageable.
