i5-3570k temp question

[davel]

So I finally got my new build up and running with Gigabyte z77-ud5h, i5-3570k and a True Spirit 120 cooler.

I looked at realtemp, and see the temps vary between each core from 28-32 at idle, and 52-59 at full load of prime95 after 20 minutes.

This all stock, I have not changed a single thing in bios yet.

Are these temps good for no overclocking at all?


I have never overclocked before, so need to read some guides I guess, but what temps do I need to keep it at for it to be safe under full load? Is it under 70?

 

[IntelEnthusiast]

Simple answer is yes those temperatures are good. When you start to overclock you see temperatures overclock very quickly. At 4.6GHz I was seeing temperatures in the high 80s with LinX. Personally I dont like to see anything out of the 70s under load but there are others that may be will to run some higher temperatures. The processor can take a lot of heat but some other components may not deal as well.

Go into the bios, set multiplier to 42, save, reboot and retest. Temps are fine

Ok thanks for the info. To be honest if I get it to 4.2 - 4.5 I would be super happy.

I mean I don't think I really need anything more with games right now?


The funny thing is this runs cooler then my e8400, then again that was using stock cooler but with e8400 i was getting 40 at idle and high 60's at full load without no OC

I will do that tonight...unfortunately I have to work today =(

I will say this the machine flies as it is but then again I upgraded from e8400 / gtx 260

Actually while I got the SSD in there....by the time I got my build up last night it was 12:30 am, and was way too late so I have not even reinstalled Windows yet, it still running on my old WD drive.

I plan to do a complete reinstall tonight as soon as I get home, then I guess it will really fly on the SSD.

I was actually surprised it booted up without any issues right into Win 7

Formatting with a SSD wouldn't take that long. I'm using Corsair Force GT with Windows 7 USB stick and it took me no longer than 15 minutes from start to finish. I didn't time it but I would say that it is very fast.

Oh yeah I am sure it goes fast, but 12:30 was late enough for me, I wake up at 5:30 am to go to work.

Unfortunately build took a lot longer for me because of my case, it was such a pain to work in, next time I am going to get a much bigger case and a modular power supply. The motherboard SATA connectors are so close to the hard drive cage that I had a real hard time plugging it in becuase it was facing to the right instead of my previous one was straight out. I need to buy much smaller cables now.

Hello! I have the same motherboard and processor as you. I've been trying to find someone with a similar build to compare temps with. The only difference is I have a 212 EVO cooler. My idle temps are slightly higher but my max load temps are identical. I plan on doing some overclocking to 4.0-4.2Ghz and would love to know what type of temps you get when you OC. Please keep me updated!

at stock temps
idle: 35-40
load: 65-70!!!!

are you guys also getting these high temps?
anything i can do to correct them?

I cant even overclock. I tried running at 4.0 but the load temps were 75+ and I immediately shutdown.

This same cooler was able to run a 2500k @4.3 under 60 degrees at load.

At 4.0Ghz now I'm getting 35-40 at idle and 60-65 during stress testing.

I am using arctic mx4 (better then as5) and i rotated my heatsink and lost about 5 degrees on load, but still quite high.

Your temps are normal

I have not really had much of a chance to play with system, last night I did get to finally rebuild my system on my SSD, and wow it flies. I think it was 7-8 seconds from power on to desktop.

So I have not had a chance to OC at all. Probably this weekend.

But right now with stock I am getting 28-32 idle and full load 52-58 if i recall

I think Don Karnage got his to 4.5. I can't recall which cooler he is using.
I ordered mine yesterday with the Hyper Evo cooler. I should be able to have it installed by early next week. I have 4 other fans in my case. I am hoping it will help.

4.7 on a Venom X. 4.8Ghz just takes so much voltage so i left it at 4.7Ghz

 

[aaksheytalwar]

Your op temps are fine. Once you oc, increase the fan speed and keep temps below 80c under real world load

 

[draza]

Hi,

does anyone know what the highest reasonable OC could be if voltage is unchanged?

By reasonable I mean assume I'm using a solid aftermarket cooler and don't want to see temps higher than 80°C when loaded.

One other thing: this processor has a "base" clock of 3.4GHz, turbos up to 3.8GHz.

When you overclock it to, say, 4.2, what is going on exactly? (I know how turbo boost works in general) I mean, will the processor still turbo boost up to 4 bins above this new "base" speed when 1 core is active - so, 4.6 (and appropriately less if more cores are active) - or if not, what will happen?

I assume that the processor still runs on a very low clock of 1.6GHz or so when it's idling, even if it's overclocked (OK, maybe it runs a bit higher when overclocked)?

Thanks in advance!

There are a few methods to go about it but the easiest would be to set the multiplier at 42x and voltage at auto. From my testing of this method, the voltage is only ever so slightly higher than stock but it is safe. Whenever there is a load on 1-4 cores, it will ramp up to 4.2GHz if you disable Turbo Boost. Remember to enable C states so that the clocks will drop to 1.6GHz when CPU load is near 0%.

i have the same mobo, and same processor. Just got it up and running a few days ago.

I have overclocked to 4.0....coming from a q8200 core 2 quad...anything on this computer is faster than that.

I am using a corsair h60 with push/pull fan setup blowing out of the case, and my temps during prime95 for the past 3 hours hasnt gone above 61C. Im not sure if I have real temp calibrated correctly tho. So I am not 100% if that temp is accurate.

The ambient temp in the room is 20C. What is a good baseline to figure the idle temp is on this i5, with stock clocking? when in the bios with stock clocking it was saying 22C (idle). After upping it to 4.0 it went up to around 25-26C idle.

Are those accurate?

My 3570K @ stock with 212 EVO with Intel Burn Test (Standard) winds up in the lower 70s (3 cores under 70, but Core 1 maxed out at 74).

With 1 hour of OCCT all cores are at 70C or below; once again Core 1 being much higher than everyone else (about mid 60s for 3 cores, 70 for Core 1).

Not exactly Prime but that's what my results are so far.

I have a new build as well and I am also a bit curious if my temps are normal (but looks like it is). Everything is running on stock (for now) so I could establish some sort of baseline. At the moment, I don't have a video card (just using on-board graphics).

Note: Ambient temp: ~ 27C (early in the morning) / ~34C (noontime and early afternoon). I live in Southeast Asia ---> tropical climate so it's kinda hot here...

Just looking in on this thread. There's a confusion afoot . . . people who are "contemplating" new builds, can't make up their minds between SB (w Z68 or Z77), SB-E (X79 and LGA 2011), or IB (w Z77).

It appears that the SB-E/LGA-2011 option (like IB on Z77) also provides PCI-E 3.0, but it also appears that PCI-E 3.0 versus 2.0 doesn't mean much for a single PCI-E 3.0-capable GPU-card.

But it's becoming obvious that the OC'ing capability of these IB "K" processors is neither "stellar" nor "impossible."

If TjMAX for the IB is 105C, you'd think that super-load temperatures just above 80C would be acceptable.

And further -- it could probably be done in a range of 4.5 to 4.7 with several heatpipe cooler options.

These temps are fine, especially considering you are using a stock HSF. However, I highly recommend NOT OC'ing your system until you upgrade your HSF. It does its job just fine for that use but when it was designed they didn't have OC'ing in mind. Your temps will be much higher if you try to use the stock HSF and I don't want you to fry a new processor.
