is my cpu getting too hot?

[Xarganthos]

dont know much about such things, so i wanted to ask for your opinion



i'm using a Noctua NH-U12P with 2 120mm fans.

also i wanted to know if the voltage is okay.. some of them seem very low, while others seem to high.

pardon my english i hope you get what i want to know

thanks


edit: wow, hasnt anything to do with this question but 10 seconds after posting this i had a bluescreen oO

[Drunkenvalley]

Is that during idle? If it's during load it seems like quite the fair temps.

[OhpUldum]

Max temp on an i5 2500k is right around 110c so you're more than safe. Voltage looks good too. My suggestion run Intel Burn Test while monitoring with RealTemp then post back with what your max temp of the i5 2500k hit while running a full burn test.

[Xarganthos]

ok i downloaded this intel burn test. which stress level should i take? standard high maximum?

edit:
did the standard test

Core 1 52°C
Core 2 68°C
Core 3 60°C
Core 4 56°C

It isn't really hot. If it goes to around 80-90+ is good time to start panicking.

That is only because its shy!

[Xarganthos]

if this is "okay" then i'm glad.

@ Drunkenvalley
the "min" temps are during idle

[Drunkenvalley]

That seems like rather high temps if it's during idle with an aftermarket cooler. o.o
But I haven't looked into that particular cooler or anything to be honest.

guess its time to clean the fans of my 100°C CPU

[Aminozuur]

Or maybe the screws are loose. So you need to tight those again

[Sephiracle]

I would check the cooler and make sure its secure. I don't think I've seen the core temp disparity of 17C before on idle.

[pansertjald]

looks to me like your cooler is sitting wrong

lowest core temp 29C
highest core temp 46C

17C defirrence is to much, so something is wrong
its not normal to have so big of a deffirence between cores. re-install the cooler and make sure you use thr right amount of thermal paste

Max temp on an i5 2500k is right around 110c so you're more than safe.

tjMax is 98°C. At this point, the CPU would have already shut the computer down, unless the thermal protections had been disabled.

OP: Always stress test on maximum (otherwise, it's not really stressful). Also, what's your vCore look like? Check in CPU-Z. I'm not trusting hwmonitor, considering that it's showing 1.03v at idle and load with zero variation. The odds of that happening are very slim.
