i7 4770 running to hot?

[Baynard]

I'm running an i7 4770 with the intel fan heat sink and 4 additional fans in my case. At 80% to 90% the CPU is running on average 195 degree f to 200 degrees f. Is this normal or do I need a better fan heat sink on the cpu. Just worried I may cook the cpu on my machine.

That is 93 degrees c, that would be to much for me. I like staying under 80c. But I have 4770k overclocked to 4.5Ghz. If you really only have a 4770 (no k, meaning no overclock), and are running 93c...time to upgrade the heat sink/fan IMHO.

And if I may ask what are you doing that brings on these temps?

You sure the heatsink is installed properly?

95C is not dangerous for that CPU. It's just hot. It's supposed to get that hot with the stock cooler. Pick up a CM Hyper 212 if you want better temps. It's only $30.

BTW with computers, nobody gives temps in F. It's all celsius.

Way too hot. The 4770 in my gaming box hits just over 50+ celsius if its really being hit with a Noctua NH-U14S, the 4770 in my daily box is around 35 celsius or less with a Thermaltake HSF; I forget the model.

It's not too hot! It's completely within Intel specs.

Where's hot?

'Completely within specs' and 'too hot for that CPU' aren't opposing arguments. CPUs have been rated to go near approx. 100C for ages, it doesn't mean they should normally be doing that. Furthermore, just because the CPU can handle say 95C, it doesn't mean the components near the CPU are going to be happy about the higher temps.

OP, what's its idle temp? Compare both readings with other 4770 users (pref. with the same HSF as yours), and there's your answer.

The CPU itself will also throttle at 100C. You are not going to destroy anything.

But what are you running that gives that temperature?

If you're getting those temps all the time, I'd check the heatsink. If you're only getting them under Prime, etc, try setting a lower fixed vcore in the BIOS instead of "adaptive", as Haswell's have a tendency to add +0.1v with AVX benchmarks.
