86 degrees at i7 7700k after 1 hour of gambling?

I have the following problem: If I play Fortnite I have after a hour a maximum of 86Grad on the CPU! If I run Cinebench but leave only 76 at the warmest core. At Prime 95 it's 82 degrees. I have a Be Quiet Silent Loop 240. Should I head the CPU? (Did I just want to hear your opinion before)

P.S.: In idle 32degrees

This is sometimes because the GPU also generates waste heat and this is reflected in e.g. Fortnite is the case. When water cooling is now exhausted, a lot of warmer air comes through the radiator, which can't cool the water that much. The best thing to do, if the GPU has good cooling, is to let the air in through the radiator be reinputated. Generally 86 ° C are not a problem

Me

Well, I want it a little quieter. On the side wall, a fan is attached, which pulls the waste heat of the GPU

Ba

He does not pull out all the air

During gaming you also have to consider the increased heat dissipation of your graphics card into the case. After an hour of gambling, all components of the computer and the case heat up as a whole and you'll probably suck that as even warmer air through your radiator.

Did you overclock your CPU or heat accumulation in the case?

Otherwise,> 80 degrees under load / gaming a bit much with your water cooling.

In the "PCGH" this Wakü manages to keep an Intel XEON (TDP = 150 watts) in the open test setup to about 50 degrees under load.

Optimal temperatures are not, but not problematic. Although you could get the temperatures lower by the heads, but then you would probably have to overclock accordingly, so it's worth it. Just because of a few degrees I would not risk my CPU, it should then jump out even a performance plus.

CPU is stick and undervoltet. Have the front 2x140mm rear 1x120 above the radiator with 2x120 blow out the top and 2x120 which suck the air so a total of 4lüfter on the radiator. On the sidewall still a 120er of the heat of the GPU pulls out and on the ground also a 140er of the air sucks

Ba

If the radiator is sucked out of the housing (the power supply will probably blow out), all other fans should suck fresh air into your housing.

Which housing do you have?

> 80 degrees is definitely too much for a i7-7700K @STOCK + UV with this cooling system. That would have to be significantly less even without "heads".

Be Quiet Silent Base 600

If I see it correctly, the power supply in this case would also have to be installed with its fan in the direction of the case bottom, when its fan sucks in the air and blows out through its open rear side at the mains connection.

On the floor would have to install a second case fan, which should then also suck fresh air into the case.

The fans in the front and rear of the case should also suck air into the case.

Then at least you have 3 active fans to suck against the 4 exhaust fans on your radiator in the housing roof.

This resort should already be good for a few degrees.

There are also a few setting options on the case itself.

The power supply is installed as described by you!

Will try your tips in the next few days!

Ba

Then just tell us about the results. 😉

Me

CPU after 5 min Prime 95 maximum 75 degrees on one core. The others so 60-70

Me

With a maximum of 92 degrees for a kern on a core?

Me

GPU maximum 68 degrees

Me

Should I behead him because I think the WLP under the heatspreader is so stupidly distributed because of the big temp difference between the cores

Ba

As long as the temperatures in the general work / game operation under load remain under 70 degrees on the hottest core, I would not remove the Heatspreader and thus not endanger the warranty of the CPU.

You can head the processor sometime later sometime, if you really want to overclock concrete and clearly. Benchmarks like Prime 95 or Furmark lead the system to its physical limits. This generic continuous load can be kept at such a high level by hardly any application or game.

Me

Fortnite has a maximum of 84 degrees after 1 1/2 hours
