i7-4790 vs i7-11700K - The Last of Us Part I GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q - Game Performance Benchmarks

New i7-4790 overheatingHello,I just recently built a new PC with i7-4790 (not K) and obviously I'm not overclocking.The problem is, I'm using a stock cooler and the temperatures are bothering me.When the CPU idles 0-10% load, the temp is 30-35 - that's cool.But whenever it gets some pressure, the temperature raises and when I run the prime95 test, it goes to 100C (max it can go, then it turns down the clock speed to cool itself down) in 10-20 seconds and stays there.I understand that a stock cooler is "not cool" and I'm looking into buying an aftermarket one, but it really should do the trick, since it comes boxed with the CPU, right? It should just be loud and a bit hotter, but not this hot...I have googled the shit out of this and it basically hasn't led me to anything useful that I haven't thought of.So far I've checked, that my heatsink is properly installed (all the pushpins are through, the fan isn't blocked by anything, the heatsink is proper and steady), I updated my BIOS (because I found a thread, where an Intel employee said that this could solve it, in answer to another thread and also I have optimised my airflow as good as it gets (I have a fan sucking air into the case from the front and a fan pushing air out from the back) and I've done my cable management in a way, that nothing should drastically block the airflow. There are no wires near the CPU, anyway.The rest of my build is:i7-4790GTX 770Seasonic 620W S12IICooler Master K280 caseCorsair 2x4GB RAMToshiba 7200pm 1TB HDDI will be thankful for any help I can get, since right now I'm really stuck... It's not actually bothering my everyday life, since the idle temperatures are low and when I game or do anything not-very-CPU-hungry, the temps stay below 60C. It's just that I'm worried why isn't my CPU able to perform at full speeds, as it should... I'm not even talking about running 100% for hours or days, merely seconds and minutes for the test...Thank you

Actually, it is exactly. Intel's cooler is NOT designed to run the cores at Prime95 loads. Intel does not consider that a realistic processor workload. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

i7 4790 in a mini itx tempsI just put a new cpu in my pc and I'm not to sure what the normal temps should be. My pc is pretty small with not a lot of air flow. It's in a raijintek case with a be quite cooler on it. My idle temps are 38-40c and under load it can get up to 70-72c. I ran an Intel burn test and set to high it peaked at 80c. I'm really hoping I didn't mess up putting the heat sink on as fixing it means taking apart the entire computer.Any insight that someone could provide would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance!

watziznehm,On behalf of Tom's Moderator Team, welcome aboard!If "idle" is really idle (1% to 2% CPU Utilization in Windows Task Manager), and if your ambient (room) temperature is not too much above normal (22°C or 72°F), then your idle temperature is perhaps a bit high for your hardware configuration. However, 80°C in IBT is OK.Here's the operating range for Core temperature:Core temperatures above 85°C aren't recommended.http://imgur.com/Svr2si8.jpgIf you'd like to learn more about processor temperatures, then you might want to read this Sticky near the top of our CPUs Forum - Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.htmlOnce again, welcome aboard!CT

H80i + i7 4790 Temperature ?The CPU temperature on idle is 35-40c is this normal ? using a H80i, pump is on full load.

Intel i7 4790 ( non-K)Hi guys,Trust you all are well.I just upgraded from an i5 4440 to i7 4790 and was wondering if my temps are OK? It is paired with a CM TX3 Evo cooler. I have set the CPU in the BIOS to permanently run at the TURBO speed ( 4Ghz) on all cores.On prime95 and Intel Burn-in the CPU reaches between 77-80C ( max reading as per openhardwaremonitor) and in games (BF1) it reaches about 65C max.Are these temps fine or do I need to get a better cooler?

i7 4790 or i7 8700kHi all , I'm currently using a i7 4790 with a 1080ti ,16gb 1600 ram @ 1440p 144hz , no massive issues just feel i should be getting more fps from my card (60-80 fps on new tombraider ultra , 60/70 on AC origins drops below 50 sometimes on ultra)I've been looking at i7 8700k mobo 16gb ddr4 bundles for and £700 would i get much benefit from this expensive upgrade?

i5 2400 upgrade to used i7-4790Im planning to swap my GTX 1060 6GB to an used i7-4790 + Asus H81m - K and I have to add a little bit of cash on top of it. My GTX 1060 6GB is less than 3 months old and I barely used it. I know there's a matter of fair or unfair trade here but it doesn't really matter.(But if it doesn't seem like a fair trade for both parties I still would like to know your opinion)My question is that if its worth the upgrade? Will I get better FPS on CPU intensive games like GTA V?Current specs arei5-24008GB RAMGTX 1070 Amp! ExtremeThanks.

is it worth upgrading i7 4790 to i7 4790kWell as the description says I have the i7 4790 and was wondering will upgrade to the k version be worth it. Broudwell is being released soon aswel so is it better to wait. I only use my system for gaming and movies. Or do you think my 4790 non k is enough for my needs

I7 4790 non k questionForgive me if this is a dumb question.I built a new rig earlier this year in February and back then I did not have anywhere near the knowledge I have now as far as computers is concerned and I just wanted to get my rig built because I was tired of waiting.I bought a i7 4790 non k not knowing that the extra 35-50 dollars at the time for the k version would be the better buy because I figured it would be very marginal and I was desperate to cut any costs I could because I was on a tight budget. I am heavily into gaming and I do video editing but it's not anything hardcore, but still it's video editing. I know most of you would tell me I'm dumb or I durped in buying this CPU or maybe you guys won't. But I ask you.Should I stick with this CPU for a good 2-3 years or should I try to sell it and upgrade when the new 7700k comes out? (Assuming it's affordable of course). Or maybe I should buy the 6700k if after January it goes down in price with the new CPU release?I am still tight on money at this time but maybe can find a way.Ty for your time.Also side question. Is my CPU safe at 65-67 package temp when gaming? I assume yes but figured I'd ask anyway.
