Hello. I have an question. In all of my games my 8700K got temps like 70-85C max.

Watch Dogs 2 ( cpu intensive too and similiar cpu load to AC ORIGINS ) - temps 70-80C

GTA V - temps - 70-80C

Call of Duty WW 2 - temps 70-80C

Final Fantasy XV benchmark - temps 70-80C

Doom 60-75C

3dmarks - 80C


But playing Assassins Creed Origins ,on Alexandria city temps are balancing between 90C to spikes 100C on 1 core. There is no throttling. And my question is can i still play or stop it?

My 8700K is with cooler Cryorig M9i.

Asus Z370 Pro Gaming. MCE is automatically ON with XMP profile.

So clock is high 4700mhz. Thanks for opinion

In january cooler was mounted with paste, so i think paste is still fresh.

So playing with 90-100C is safe or not on intel I8 ?
 
Its high but you don't have a great cooler. 120W cooling capacity is on the low side.

On the other hand your CPU wont take any damage it will throttle instead.

Your other components will definitely not like it as there is going to be heat build up inside your case.
 
try more expensive cooling paste, maybe try to set you volts lower on cpu core.
I have 8600k @ 1.265volts running 5ghz on water max is about 65c(note there is a gpu also in the loop)
 
[MENTION=46101]gbyte[/MENTION] I'd say 80 degrees should be where you aim to keep temps.
Delid would get you lower temps but voids your warranty if that worries you(good temp results though)
H115i cooler would probably drop a few degrees off of that but yeah a few degrees
MCE adds performance to the stock setup however it increases heat greatly so perhaps try with it turned off and judge temps
Are you running auto voltage, try 1.3v manual for your cpu voltage at the stock settings you're on... the cpu should still run fine but will have some degrees lower.
A good thermal paste will improve the temps as well but nothing spectacular unless paste was applied incorrectly
Also make sure your mobo is running cool enough with excellent airflow in your case, if it's a new age case with the front area closed you're going to have some cooling issues be sure of that
 
damn. I want just finish game :( So stop playing or nothing will happen?
 
[MENTION=23822]sal12345[/MENTION] you're correct, I didn't even see it was that cooler. Thought he mentioned the better version of that one.
[MENTION=46101]gbyte[/MENTION] steps to take in this case lower your cpu voltage(will lower some temp), fit a different cooler for sure one that costs money

Well at 100 degrees you get thermal throttled because the system knows that is dangerous levels, with higher temps like that it puts the cpu at more risk of failing entirely and at having a far shorter lifespan of usage.

If you just want to finish a game perhaps just turn the MCE off then see what that does for temps as the 8700k should still perform fine on most games at stock speeds nothing to prove overclocking wise in a game like that really.

Wonder if this was resolved after all OP posted the same thing on Guru3d and Techpowerup after carbonite and was told his cooler is the problem each and every time.
