What are your in game and idle temps according to HWMonitor?

What CPU Cooler are you using?

What case are you using?

What motherboard are you using?

I am asking because my temps seem to be rising as of late.


I am using a H100i V2
Gigabyte Z390 UD
Thermaltake MK1 Chaser


My case only supports up to 240mm aio, so if I look for anything stronger, a new case is going to be needed.


TY for sharing your info.


My idle temps are anywhere from 39 to 55c
Temps under full load are between 65 and 75c
Temps according to the HWMonitor shows spikes into the 80s, and sometimes 90s, but the value is well within range, I am just thinking the h100i v2 isnt enough.

It's fine, and it's perfectly normal to have temperature spikes.
Don't worry about it that much unless you are actually throttling, or other thermal related issues. (Noise being a valid complaint too.)

If you really want to be sure, dust out your PC (radiator and all), if that doesn't work, repaste your CPU, and make sure you're using proper mounting pressure.

You could also see what voltage you're using. If you're running something high, it's to be expected that temps will be warmer.


Also, asking people what their temps are isn't that great of an idea, as it varies from case to case, literally in this instance.
Case, how many fans in the case, what cooler they're running, what motherboard they're running, ambient temperatures, voltages being run, the clockspeed of their processor, and their workload.
It all matters, and all factors to the final result.

I am using Noctua NH-U12S cooler, temps rarely get above 60c when gaming, and run around 39c idle. I live in the desert so it's already pretty warm here, so my house is also pretty warm during the day. Case is Cooler Master HAF 912, has a lot of holes for air to enter and exit through. Only running the two 120mm fans that came with the case. Running stock clocks, no OC'ing. This chip has plenty of muscle, no need to IMO.

youll have better luck at overclock.net
they have charts on what cpu batches are best at overclocking

[Kaihekoa]

Nothing wrong with those temps, don't worry about it.

[Evil Ninetales]

I run mine with only a very mild overclock.

It's currently running at 4.5ghz with 1.15V voltage

Idle temp at 31'c
Highest temp under synthetic load is 51'c
The cooler is an EK Waterblock hooked up to a 360mm Radiator with noctua 3000 fans.

The case is clean, atm the temps on my H100 Gtx(is basically the H100i v2 version) is at 43c

Pump and fan MUST stay at extreme or it spikes to high 90s, heat ONLY became an issue when I upgraded from the i7 6700k, and then to worrysome levels once I added a 970evo, that is what caused heat to really pick up.

Ask people for temp just for CPU, motherboard, and case is a bad idea. There are a few terrible influencers. The temperature depends on the case while at idle and full load—even motherboard and CPU cooler.

The most common is it shouldn't go over 80C if possible. Make sure it has an airflow way correctly. Over 90C is not good.

I have Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master and Lian Li 011D XL, so I can't speak for your motherboard and case since it is not the same.

The Lian is know to have amazing air flow. My case is about 7 years old, but kept very clean. My mobo is Z390UD by Gigabyte. I am toying with the idea of putting my Hyper 212 evo in for testing, since its brand new, I bought it in case my aio ever died, and I needed a back up cooler until I could get a new one.

I am currently thinking either Noctua NH-D15, or a 280mm beefy kracken aio, but leaning toward the Noctua. Also my mobo was cheat,. $120 and heat got bad after putting the evo 970 on it

[Veni vidi vici]

im idling at 34 Celsius cpu package uses about 7-10 watts the rest of my rig is arous master
evo 212 air cooler i've got two fans on it in a push pull setup

What speeds does your 9700k hit? Mine is on default turbo and self clocks to 4.6 to 4.8ghz out of box.

It is not bad as far as I can tell. Your motherboard is good too; it can use i9-9900K well. I also disliked Cooler Master since it is a too noisy fan.

i've booted at 5.1ghz 1.4volts but i cant stress test or leave it that way my evo 212 just wont handle it.
this week i've been at 4.8ghz@1.3volts with everything else important set at auto.
my evo 212 does allright till cpu package powers hits 150 watts then it just loses it and temps skyrocket from there.

lucky for me the most cpu intensive game i have spikes up too 125 watts "fallout4"

im kinda in the same situation you are my case can only handle a 240 mm radiator so far its just not worth buying new case plus going water cooler

Ty again everybody, I was just very worried, since my old cpu never seen the high side of 65C, and now I am seeing 85C and I'm like "oh snap!"

After about 90 minutes of Black Desert Online at 3440x1440 custom max settings.


Stop stressing?


And many ty again everybody!

Well, your old CPU was only 4 cores, this is 8 cores; it will consume more power, which in turn will produce more heat.
So it makes sense that you'd see higher temps.

But 85c is fine. You can stop stressing.

Though, if you do want to remove all doubt :

You could also see what voltage you're using -

- Or just lower it.

Not played with my voltage, Ill google it

After some BDO and Conan Unconquereed, temps have reached 94C on peak, but still currently at 60c. Nothing to worry about yet?
