Is it normal for cpu to be this hot?

I just got a MSI Z87 G45 and i5-4670K with stock fan. It idles very cool, about 32-34c in a 78f room, lower than the i3 it replaced, but that's probably because it clocks itself down lower, I've seen it running as low as .75ghz.

When I play BF3 for an hour, it get's up to around 67c, which is hotter than I like but still ok.

I ran Intel Burn test and it hits 90c within 2 minutes, at that point I stopped the test.

I have never had ANY cpu run that hot even overclocked cpu. And that was just 2 minutes into the test.

I'm using the stock fan obviously, replaced the stock paste with Tunique TX-2.

ivy bridge and haswell both run vary hot,upgrading the heatsink might help a bit but other then that not much you can do except delid it.

If it is not oced then you should be fine with stock hs.If you are planning on ocing you will get even higher temps and a new heatsink is required and you may need to delid.
 
I have used the Hyper Evo 212, on gaming on BF3 at stock it hits 60c with MX-5.

EDIT: Forgot to say mine is a 3570k.

He said 1150, not 1155. 1150 is newer, that's why my cpu is.

1155, 1156, and 1150 all use the same mounting holes. But like was mentioned earlier, a cooler might help a bit, but they still run hot. Even with a custom loop, they run hot.

What does it hit in Intel burn test? I mean my Haswell doesn't go over 67c with the stock fan when I'm playing BF3.

I like the Hyper 212 EVO, how loud is it?

I've put in a support ticket with Coolermaster to find out if it's compatible with s1150. I'll let you know when they email me back.

Yep, I know how to read. Re-read what I wrote. The 212 Evo 1155 bracket works with 1150 socket (at least that's what I have been reading), so that means it should be compatible with your CPU.

That's great you can read. If you had been trolling slower, you would have seen I edited my post. Bye.

I'm not going to buy it cause it SHOULD fit. I'll wait and find out first.

Chewing out people who are HELPING you is in very poor form.

Also, the mounting brackets for 1155 and 1150 are the same, as are the physical dimensions of the chips. So your cooler will work.

If you read the thread, he wasn't helping me at all, he wasn't even talking to me, he was telling someone else that the EVO uses the same 1155 socket as the non-evo, which has nothing to do with s1150, even if they are the same, it's not listed, so until I get an affirmative from CM, I'm not going to buy it.

Telling me it should work in a later post, isn't really helping since he says "should", and "that's what I've been reading". Which everyone pretty much knows it "should".

As far as your last sentence, "Your cooler will work".....what cooler? I only have a stock cooler, so of course it will work.

Wow... 1150 and 1155 use the same holes! SAME EXACT holes, ANY cooler that worked for 1155 WILL 100% work with 1150 socket. It isn't just the CM hyper 212.
 
OP, why are you getting so defensive? These guys are trying to help you.

As far as coolers, the Hyper 212 Plus works wonders and is stupidly cheap. My chip never crests 40C under Prime95. The 6300 is a cool-running chip anyway, but I'd be willing to bet you won't get anywhere near 90C with a 212 provided you have reasonable case ventilation and some decent thermal paste (Arctic Silver is my favorite).

Speaking of that, how is your case ventilation? Case temps tend to be the single biggest factor with abnormally high CPU temps in my experience. Apologies if you have your rig listed in your signature; I'm on Tapatalk and can't see sigs.
 
I was defensive? Wow. Does anybody read the threads before replying?

CM V8 out of the question, too expensive and sub-par performance from what I read.

212 Plus out of the question, as it's old and has been replaced by the EVO.

Neither list s1150. I don't care what kind of crystal ball you guys think you have, but until I get an answer that it for sure fits, I have to wait.

I have plenty of case ventiliation. I fail to see the relation of a FX-6300 to a i5-4670K. That's like comparing a v6 mustang to a Shelby Cobra.

Actually ambient room temp is the single biggest factor with cpu temps. Mine is about 78f.
 
S1150 uses exactly SAME mounting holes as S1155. So anything that fits S1155 will fit S1150. You still need to take care of things like RAM clearance with 212 EVO. But it is a perfectly good cooler for it's price. Cheap and performant as long as you don't go unreasonable with your voltages.
 
Jesus man. You just don't accept help. Maybe this will help?

Intel 1150 compatibility
Measures and mounting procedure will be the same for all Intel socket 115x motherboards. Therefore all CPU coolers compatible to Intel 1155/1156 socket will also be compatible to Intel 1150 sockets without using additional mounting solutions.

Wikipedia said:
Cooling systems for LGA 1155 and LGA 1156 sockets are compatible with LGA 1150, due to them having the same distance of 75 mm between each screw hole.
 
Case ventilation matters regardless of which CPU you're using, and any questions about high temps in an air-cooled system pretty much necessitate airflow questions. You're right about our processors being different, but in this case all that means is that good airflow is far more important in your situation than mine. The only time ventilation doesn't matter is if you're on water cooling.

For future reference, if your ventilation sucks your case temps will be much higher than ambient. That means that no matter which air cooler you choose your CPU temps will be higher as well. When you have a hot chip, that can be a problem. So no, ambient temp isn't the most important factor unless you actually get enough ambient air into your case (and hot air out) to reach said temp.

Regardless, this thread seems to be a waste of time. You obviously have decided that you are going to be combative and borderline hostile, and it would seem from your responses that you feel you've already got all the answers.

So... do what you want? Is that the answer you're looking for?

P.S. The only difference beween a Hyper 212 Evo and a 212 Plus is a *slightly* better fan and lower weight. If you want to pay an extra 10-15 bones for virtually identical performance (1 or 2 C temp difference under ideal conditions) or just so you can say you have the newest model, more power to you. I wouldn't.

Wow, I've never seen so many whiners on a public forum before. Of course case ventilation matters......did I say otherwise??

And yes, ambient room temp is the NUMBER 1 factor in your cpu's temperature.

I've been combative and borderline hostile? Wow. Cause I said I wasn't going to buy it until I was sure it's compatible. You think I'm going to buy something because 10 trolls say it "should fit", that's "what they read". Get real, that's called being intelligent and dilligent, not sketchy and impulsive. I guess you call that combative?

I also guessed you missed the part about me just going to use the Freezer 7 Pro I already have too. Darn.

I built my first pc in 1996 and every one since. This wasn't a question about basic computer knowledge as you all seem to be trying to give me a lesson on, this was a question about is it normal for a Haswell to hit 90c in Intel Burntest in 2 minutes, and could anyone recommend a good cooler.

I got my answer, so you all can continue trolling for someone to argue with for e-peen status.

Good day whiners
 
212 EVO absolutely fits socket 1150. I have one cooling my overclocked 4670k right now.

OP, you should learn to be a bit less of an ass to people who are just trying to help you. You'll receive a much better response.

S775 is not the same as S115x

3.) Insert 4 mounting inserts to each corner of the appropriate retention bracket. For socket 1156/1366, use the inserts with the two holes and for sockets 775/AM2/3, use the inserts with just the one hole. When installing the insert, ensure that the small clip is to the inside.
