Hi!
I've had the i5 4690K on the Z97-G43 board for a few days now. I have a processor on stock clocks with box cooling, I'm going to buy a Fortis 3 soon. But until then I have to use a BOX and here's the problem.
In games I have quite high temperatures, in GTA 5, for example, on the highest settings, the temperatures fluctuate around 77 ° C, the maximum reached 79 ° C, but I think that after a longer game it could reach over 80 ° C. The paste under my cooling is Be Quiet silicone, I'm sure the cooling is fine.
Are such temperatures safe and nothing will happen to the processor for this week or two? Somewhere on the internet I heard not to exceed 80 ° C for a long time because the processor can crash. And for my 79 ° it's critically close. Others say not to allow 90 ° C etc. Under OCCT it goes up to 85 ° and probably higher, but in games it's not that much.
With the housing open, the temperatures are slightly lower, I assume that the perpetrator is a 3pin fan connected to 4pin on the board, which works only on 950RPM, although it could reach 1250RPM (in bios I set it like that, but only there it retains the settings and under windows still 950RPM) It does not keep to pull hot air and even the GTX970 reaches 80 ° so probably one heats the other. The housing is SPC RG1
on the front I have one fan under MOLEX, which works at 100% all the time.
