Issues with Intel i7-7700K overheating reported.
The specifications include a CPU with I7-7700K, a Master Liquid Pro 240 cooler, MSI Z270 Gaming M6 AC, and various voltage settings. The CPU core voltage is 1.310, SA voltage 1.200, and IO voltage 1.150. The load-line calibration mode is set to 1 for the highest setting. A high-quality thermal paste from Cooler Master is recommended for optimal performance. At 4.8 Ghz, temperatures are stable, but pushing to 4.9 Ghz with the current settings can cause the CPU core voltage and SA voltage to exceed their limits, leading to higher package temperatures consistently around 100°C or more during full load.
Your concerns are valid:
1. These temperatures seem normal for the Master Liquid Pro cooler, which is considered one of the best on the market.
2. Adjusting the voltages could help maintain stable performance at 4.9Ghz or even higher, keeping temperatures below 90°C.
3. Running at [Auto] in UEFI with these settings might risk overheating, as the protection systems may not activate effectively at such high temperatures.
4. The included protection features in the motherboard and BIOS might not shut down the system if temperatures rise significantly, potentially affecting long-term CPU health.
Please let me know if you need further clarification!

Details:
CPU: I7-7700K
Cooler: Master Liquid Pro 240
RAM: MSI Z270 Gaming M6 AC
CPU Core voltage: 1.310
CPU SA voltage: 1.200
CPU IO voltage: 1.150
Load-line calibration mode: 1 (highest)
High quality overclock-ready thermal paste from Cooler Master
@4.8 Ghz
@4.9 Ghz
If I run @4.9 Ghz with those settings in UEFI, everything stays stable, though the CPU core voltage will exceed 1.42 and SA beyond 1.3, etc. The package temperature will consistently reach 100°C or higher during full load.
My questions are:
1. Are these temperatures typical for the cooler I own? Master products are considered among the best in the market.
2. What adjustments to the voltages would allow stable 4.9Ghz or even 5Ghz while keeping temperatures below 90°C at full load?
3. Is it safe to keep those voltages set to [Auto] in UEFI and run @4.9Ghz with temperatures above 100°C?
4. Why don’t the protection features in the motherboard and BIOS shut down the system when temperatures hit such high levels as 100°C? These temperatures could harm the CPU over time?
Thank you in advance!
I’m genuinely impressed by the claims about Cooler Master products, but I’m also curious about the details like my memory type, speed, and quantity.
