maximum operating temperature for i5-4690k under load
I assembled my PC at the end of last year, and in mid-January I chose to overclock for the first time. I managed to reach 4.5 GHz, and it has been stable for roughly a month now. During CPU-heavy games, the temperature stays around 63 degrees. With the CRYORIG H7 installed, are these readings acceptable? I stress-tested it for about an hour without exceeding those limits. Also, my CPU consistently runs at 4.5 GHz, is that typical? It doesn’t always hit full load, just maintains that speed.
Good. The maximum temperatures for the 4th generation Core processors are as follows: Tcase (CPU temp) = 74C Tjunction (Core temp) = 79C Tj Max (Throttle temp) = 100C Refer to the guide at for more details. The issue arises because the processor runs at full speed continuously due to Speed Step turned off in BIOS or Windows set to high performance in Control Panel/Power Options.
