Intel i7 7700k running hot

[Fb||Nickdeadly420]

So I posted about my pc in PUBG and upgraded motherboard,CPU and RAM. I installed a GIGABYTE Z270XP, Intel 17 7700k, and G. Skill 16GB DDR4 RAM.

I got eveything set up fine but my cpu runs really hot and its not OC. min idle temp is 38c to 40c. I am using a Corsair H115i as a cooler and I set it to performance mode. Still running hot. I have applied thermal paste 3 different ways and made sure the cooler was sitting properly. I have updated all drivers and pc up updated. any ideas on how to lower my temps for my CPu so I dont blow it playing a game?

what temps are you seeing while gaming?

max temps like 80c and higher.. havent ran a game in about 12 hours becuase i dont want to mess up the cpu

Nothing about your temps is "hot"

the max temp for the i7 7700k is 84c per core sooo how is 80c not hot?

All those CPUs are fine til 95+ *C

That's fine, the 7700k can run hot under load, although it does seem a little bit for stock, I would make sure your bios is up to date and manually overclock, as the board might simply be setting a very high stock voltage which can happen.
Check it with hwifo64.
If you are going to have a hot chip, it might as well be fast.

just ran pubg and in the airplane cpu temps went up to 90c and staied around 80 to 88c..how is that normal?

Ok, then you're cooling it terrible, check it all.

84c isn't the max temp.

Official specs show the TJ max (max temp) as 100c. Throttle will occur ~5c before this point. So, you are within operational temps at 84c.

If you are approaching 90c, you should probably start looking into better cooling. Or re-evaluating your overclock, if you have one. If you are on stock clocks, then you really have something up with your cooling solution.

"Most" modern CPU & GPU tops out around 95-105*C
Yes it will thermal throttle around 95*C to help prevent actual overheat.
80*C is NOT hot for modern hardware.

Maybe not dangerous, but it's not ideal. A 7700K isn't a particular hot CPU, the only reason it's getting that hot is an evidently inadequate cooling system.

OP, I'd upgrade the cooling at your earliest opportunity. It's not dangerously overheating, but it'll last longer and be more reliable at a lower temp. And a lot more comfortable to sit next to.

what is the voltage set at for the cpu?

Yes ^ This

Manually change it as low as it will go until unstable, then raise it slightly until stable.
It should never be left on AUTO.

already suggested that and all the OP did was complain that his cpu is hot again instead of letting us know if he checked it, chances are its trying to push a huge voltage on auto for some reason, or he forgot to plug the pump in so its acting only passively which is a bad thing.

Alright dude I did an Intel stress test and it pretty much stays 93c and higher.. 80c is hot for a cpu bearly under load. I have a corsair h115i and it works fine. As the voltage gos I manually changed everything as low as I can make it without losing performance. I dropped the voltage to 1.15 and it was still idling at 60c.. Intels website maxes the I7 7700k at 100c so me idling at 60c is crazy. As the cpu goes it does run hot but not this hot.
