High Cpu Temps?

[MAN]

Im using about 35-40% of my cpu on witcher yet i get around 62-68 celsius temps, usually i dont go above 60 in games such as gta and dark souls, Im running at around medium settings and most post processing is turned off
I have a kaby lake i7-7700k
How can i fix this? (if i need to)

FIXED
Somehow it fixed itself and stays at around 53 celsius and reaches a max of 60, so its much better than before

Anything nelow 80 is acceptable for a cpu 90 is what's considered 'high' normally

As for your point about not having cpu go above 60 on other games, games are not created equal, one game might stress the cpu higher than others, also framerate may be a factor, the more frames your graphics card put out the more your cpu need to push itself to deliever those frames.

Your temps are still fine, you are way bellow the temperature where the cpu will start to throttle itself to avoid heat damage, so don't worry about it and have fun.

60c is normal for majority games also depends on the cooler. liquid cooling might see lower temps than fans. as long as you're not getting into the 80c range you have nothing to worry about.

there is a way downclocking your CPU via windows control panel, at very least, you can disable the processor's turboboost to help cool your CPU down.

Open this line in your windows: C:\Windows\System32\control.exe

Go to 'Power Option', then 'Change Plan Settings', after that 'Change Advance Power Settings'.

Find an option called 'Processor Power Management', here you should see 3 sub-options which contains 'min processor state' and 'max processor state'.

Setting 'max processor state' to 99% percent will disable the turboboost. Setting it lower than 99% will limit your CPU clock frequencies according to your CPU frequency scaling. Try to set max processor state to 70% and monitor your cpu clock via task manager > performance > CPU section (if you are using win10).

You may experience performance impact by lowering your CPU performance, so adjust this option accordingly so you get lower temperature but still get max performance with this game.

I get 72 °C on Ultra with water cooling on a GTX 1080Ti. But that's propably because I don't let the system cool down during my ~6 hour game sessions of this game.

Since you choose the watercooling parts it depends on what you have chosen how well it performs.

Another thing is OCed CPU will get hot, specially if not delidled because the toothpaste that goes between the die and the IHS. My CPU in water hits 70C in summer, while my GPUs run from 45-50C. In summer, room temp 25C, and maybe more with the system running some hours since 500W is already a weak heater. Water temp is around 35C system running full usage.

Nowadays high CPU temps in watercooled system may be due to high water temp but also because poor thermal transfer from die to heatspreader if not delidled. The 1st is bad, the second is ok.

I'm down here at 40 at the most on ultra settings. You should try water cooler. There are some pretty good AIOs from coolermaster.

Mine never goes above 43c using a Noctua D14.
