Hello,
My 4690k runs at a turbo clock of 4.4GHz. Temperatures are within safe limits, but I’m worried about the idle temperatures. Removing the OC and using stock settings shows the idle temps are 5 to 10 degrees lower than with the OC (40°C with OC, 32–35°C without OC). I also verified the specs: clocks and voltages stay consistent across different overclocking levels at 800Mhz with 0.7v.
Any explanation for this difference?
Idle should be slightly increased after the OC. Are you certain the voltage is always being applied? Dynamic voltage changes quickly to respond. Also, certain power-saving functions turn off automatically when overclocking occurs.
For everyday use, the CPU works well up to 80°C. Don't worry much about it. Applying fresh thermal paste and cleaning dust can help keep things cooler if you haven't done that recently.
