CPU I7 8700 temp while idling.

[chevalier88]

Here's my gaming temp.

i think you started the thread just to see if your temp is normal. for me, yes. it is. it will not explode

now, if you want to get it cooler, then u can try to check if your thermal paste tighten properly (as suggested by bro gld998) / see case airflow -ve/+ve thing or even change the cpu cooler =)

Because this cooler I paid a hundred over bucks for it but not performing as intended? so actually wanted to know if my cooler is working as intended..or really thermal paste got issue or really not being installed properly.. hmm

and wouldn't high temp above 80C affect my gaming performance? like having shutters from time to time?

Is the computer case well ventilated?
In aircon room?

To gauge cooler performance, what is the temperature when CPU under 100% load?

I do think 30-40C range when idle seems ok. As long when on load dont exceed 80C with a AIO liquid cooler.

Non air-conditioned room. Think my room ambient temperature is around 29C-32C?

I'm using cryorig r1 universal

Air cooled you are looking at high 30s for idling and probably mid 70s MAX for gaming in a non-aircon room. If you are still past these thresholds, then either :

1) Bad case ventilation

2) Bad mounting and application of TM.

3) BOTH.

Make sure when you mount the cooler tighten it evenly for every screw clockwise. So like 3-4 turns then move on to next screw in a clockwise manner. Do it until there is resistance to tightening and DO NOT over tighten.

If you really want better temps, I'd delid it. You lose warranty but if it is done by someone competent, you will have no issues at all. I did it on my 6700k before and I dropped almost 20 degrees on load. Idling dropped as much as 10 degrees easy.

Here's my gaming temp.

and basing on this, your cpu is running turbo boost with max clock at 4.6ghz @ 1.325v @ 74c. nothing to worry about. you are good to go

 

[Kepller]

Try undervolting your cpu. Based on Gamer Nexus's results it helped with the temps by 8-10 degrees.

Okay bro, so do you think that there are no issues with my cryorig r1 universal ? I don't have to re-seat my cooler or apply new thermal paste to it?

But the idling temp seem weird thou for a over hundred bucks cooler hmm.

do consider delid if you want to go lower, search my nick for 8700K temp and performance. mine's delid though, and speed bumped up.

you can if you know how to re-seat and re-apply thermal paste. no harm in trying to see if it helps.

if its ME, i'll just ignore it and continue playing games

delid void warranty right? and will it benefit i7-8700 non k version?

any bros here good at doing delid? considering for my k version

scary bro delid if never do properly my processor will be gone..

Don't know how to do that but I know that there are plenty of youtube videos guiding people how to do it haha.

For me, if it doesn't affect my gaming experience or decrease my gaming fps/gaming performance..I'm pretty cool with the temp. I'm only afraid of playing games with sudden lag etc..hang...just because of high temp..

it depends on the individual, and its a known fact that Intel's TIM is less than perfect, and this is the way to improve the temp. U can search my thread and there is a HWZ bro doing delliding.

Yes, you are right. There risks in everything, esp when we are squeezing every last drop of juice from it.

and here i am about to make an i7 8700 build....good thing u posted this. Anyway i used msi afterburner as i can see the temps in game and they will plot a graph of your temps over time.

I did my delid from a seller on carousell. PM if you need contact.

Delid + Liquid metal paste.

Before delid, load temp 80C
After delid, load temp 68-72C at 5.1Ghz.

Stock 8700 should hit even lower temp than this. For me the biggest benefit of delid is my system is now very quiet as heat dont build up fast in system

Don't mind if i ask why u look at max values instead of current value?

My dual Xeon build idles at 70C at home and I'm hardly even bothered.

People nowadays are too stuck up on their computers than what they should be using those computers hor.

this is my Temp after idling for 10mins.

Is this normal or too high for idling..?

Temps look very normal to me for a 8700, plus you're in non aircon room; there's only so much you can do to shave off the temps in sg's climate.

If you feel like you really need to do something- try reseating the cpu cooler and reapply the thermal paste.
