These temps on this build don't make sense to me...

60 degrees while gaming? I've been out of touch with Intel.. but have they gotten that bad?

Yes. That is about normal now.

[Bones]

That's correct, 60C is good for it and anything around 70C-75C max under load is acceptable.

It's 10 cores on 14nm. Yeah, it's gonna be hot.
So 8086K with extra cores/threads. Basically how I look at these chips.

Bet these chips would run super well on my tap to drain cooling

[Vinster]

I'm floored then... 130W x58 CPU's didn't run this hot... how can these be classed as 125W and run physically 25 degrees hotter while gaming?

If I had gotten an recent intel setup and saw these temps I'd turf the thing... That's just not manageable... no wonder Air-Cooling is dying...

I dunno, you got me thinking as well. But I guess its normal. Don't even look at that '125W' TDP figure. Thats at stock 1.1V maybe with only a single core boosting to 4.8 or sth.... And even then the peaks will be higher.
These are more likely 200W+ chips.

But from the cooling aspect, yeah I wonder if that is not a bit too hot. I got my 10980XE running 4,8GHZ all cores and in games the core temps don't exceed 45°C. I do use a huge external radiator to keep my water as close to ambient as possible but still my water to core delta is not that high. 22°C water to 45°C cores. Maybe his loop temp is high because it is an itx build.

That 94°C cinebench temp had me shocked. I got 8 cores more and my max. is 74°C on the hottest core. Average 70°C. Same speed.


EDIT: I would guess the GPU in that small case heats up the exhaust radiator a lot, hence the high gaming CPU temps.
