You're going to get a bunch of "my temps are lower" posts, but in reality, those temps are about right. I'm not overclocking myself and run a Corsair H115i CPU cooler at "Balance" level using Corsair's Link software and my idle temps are around 35ish. Yes, this is an i7-7700K. Interestingly, when I was running my i7-6700K, my temps were about 9 degrees less. Seems the 7700K runs a bit hotter than the 6700K.

Anyway as long as you're not pushing 80 or 90, you're good.

And the two "sensor" programs I run are Corsair Link, or Aida 64.

And I've not updates my specs here yet, but my board is a Gigabyte GA-Z270X-Gaming 8, i7-7700K. You can see my system here.

Hope this helps.

Wel this certainly helps me. Now i know that CAM is giving me the right-ish temps. So i wil keep using CAM (i like the overlay in games). I know now also that i am going to buy the NZXT Kraken x62 when that is more available from where i am, Just to be sure to get the temps down. Before this i had the NZXT Kraken x51 in my old system to cool AMD FX-9590. I really like the software and hardware of NZXT. Not because the LED stuff, but it works properly.

Dont buy a rubbish CLC cooler they are overhyped overrated overpriced loud and unreliable

You are much better off buying either a better air cooler or a proper AIO kit from either EK or Swiftech.

I had the x51 for 2 years running. No problems at all. The noise, tbh i don't really care about that. But ye the price is pretty high. I agree on that one.

A dual tower air cooler such as the Noctua NH-D14/D15 the Be Quiet Dark Rock the Phanteks PH-TC14PE or the Cryorig R1 Ultimate are both better and the the same cheaper then most CLC coolers
The only thing a CLC cooler does better is looks.

FUD!

Like everything else, it depends on what you're doing, and how you're doing it. Buy whatever cooler fits you scheme and needs and don't get caught in the hype of someone else's "personal opinion"

I myself would never use one of those huge "air monsters" of a CPU cooler, but that's me. On the other hand I'm also not overclocking my CPU to require such a heavy beast.

Again, if you're not overclocking, no need to weigh your board down with something not needed.

My two cents.

Thank you, I have seen that one. Subscribed to him few months ago

Wel i am not overclocking yet. I don.t need that at this point, while the cpu is good enough to run everything i do with it at this point. So actually i don't really need another cooler. But i was wondering what other got when running this cpu idle. Yesterday i put another 120mm fan on the Cryorig H7 the run it in push/pull. Tbh i can't see any difference in temps yet tho

Hate to say it, but that's just your opinion... A $50 single tower air cooler can cool as well as a 280/360mm while costing half as much and having fewer points of failure (and no catastrophic ones, like pump failure or a leak), as well as better fans OOB and no pump noise... No depends about it (well, some CLCs have decent fans), just matter of fact.

FUD is when you start worrying about the weight of air coolers

Thank you

 

There is a difference between a closed and an open AIO cooler hence the term CLC or closed liquid cooler

Almost all CLC coolers are overpriced overrated overhyped and air coolers are the same or better at a much lower cost plus they often make far less noise and most important they are far more reliable

CLC coolers are louder because of the pump and they are less reliable both because there is the risk of leaks and because the liquid will evaporate over time which means the cooler will be useless with enough time passed

An air cooler on the other hand besides being cheaper have far less parts that can go wrong so they are much more idiot proof and they will make less noise because there is no noisy pump and pump whine is not a problem either

CLC coolers are more of a fashion gimmick then serious cooling
If you really want a liquid setup you either build your old loop or you buy an open AIO kit from EK or Swiftech

Most people seem to have this misconception that CLC coolers are the greatest thing ever and air coolers are worse when in fact its the other way around
Why would you pay more for something that is in every way worse? the only thing a CLC does better is looks but then again buy an open liquid cooler or build your own loop

CLC coolers have only become so popular because of marketing hype and people either ignorant or stupid enough to buy them and they in turn overhype them
Another thing you probably dont know is your CLC is not made by the brand that sells it as almost all of them are crappy Asetek rebrands

I dont know how much you know about physics but liquid heats up much slower then metal which means that while a liquid cooler heats up more slowly they also COOL off much slower which means a liquid cooler is going to be hotter for a longer time period which means the air cooler is far superior in that regard as it cool off much faster and better and that in turn means less fan noise

So in the end the only opinion here is yours and its clear you did not even bother to read or watch any of the links i posted going by your reaction
You dont know what you are talking about and if you go into the cooling section here on OCN you will see that many agree that CLC coolers are rubbish so again your opinion.

Edit: as for your claim that air coolers are too heavy the only way for an air cooler to break off or damage anything is the end user doing something wrong or just being lazy or just plain stupidity

 

OK.

In this world, McDonald's would go out of business due to it's correlation to obesity, diabetes, heart and cholesterol issues, cancer, and selling meat that's not all meat, and maybe some human rights abuses.

You're welcome

 

But reality is what we live in. Like it or not.

Have a nice day

 

Yes, reality exists... Enjoy an early death I guess?

Consumer choice and all no need to think about it = buy things because they exist = maximum freedom

 

I see you're the type to resort to imbecilic statements when losing an argument. Time to move on.

Bye

 

I see you do not understand analogy* or how to warrant an argument and instead resort to ad hominem...

Touché, you got me

Maybe the OP had his question answered already; just wanted to throw in my 2 cents.

I understand I am running a different CPU, however, hear me out: the 7700k estimates a 91W TDP, while the 5820K (mine) estimates 140W TDP.

I ran an overclock on my i7-5820k with a custom loop (1x 240mm rad and 1x 120mm rad), in line with a GTX 1080 at stock clocks.

My temperatures: , and was, and

• never went past 54C under heavy load,
• 30-33C at idle, and
• 40-43C during typical gaming loads.

I took apart this machine to place the components on a wall-mounted build (currently ongoing in Build Logs section), and I reattached a cheapo AIO cooler (with 1x120mm radiator) temporarily, so I could the CPU while the blocks and other loop components got measured out and such.

The AIO gave me slightly higher temperatures, though they were within the same realms:

• never went past 60C under heavy load
• 32-38C at Idle, and
• 43-51C during typical gaming loads

TL/DR: My temperatures were not much of a difference between the AIO and my custom loop. The biggest difference will probably be the amount of audible cooling. Hope this helps

Altho that is what Gigabyte SIV (System Information Viewer) says. I downloaded 3 other cpu temp softwares (NZXT CAM and the other 2 i can't remember). Cam says the same thing as SIV. The other 2 gave complete different temperatures (that is why i deleted them). One said it was idle at 70 and the other said it was 60. But which one to believe? 24 degrees house temperature. So what temperature software you ppl use or advise?

Specs:
NZXT Phantom 820 (gunmetal)
Fans: 3x 200mm, 3x 140mm, 1x 120mm)
Intel I7 7700K (cooler: Cryorig H7)
Gigabyte Z270X Gaming 7
16gb 3000Mhz GEIL
Windows 8.1 (need to upgrade to 10)
Asus STRIX GTX1070
1200watt psu

The one to believe would be the one that came with your motherboard. It's doubtful that they would mess something up when it comes to sensor monitoring. I'd also trust CAM since it gives the same thing. I use CAM with no issues myself.

Ye it is running idle 33 degrees on both software. So i thought that must be it. When i first run the processor it was idle on 40-45 degrees. Temps where all over the place. I installed cam and now the temperatures are more stable. I use cam because of the overlay.

It is a nice overlay. I don't use them myself, but I like how it has an Android app. I have a tablet setup next to my pc running CAM to show my temps.

How? I can't download it on my tablet

Either search for CAM Mobile on the play store or use the link on their website. It may be that your tablet doesn't meet the requirements. I can install it both on my tablet and phone without issue.

Great point. And yeah, the noise factor would certainly come into play. I built an audiophile system around my PC so noise is a big factor for me. I've got two Noctua Fans on my Corsair H115i cooler, when them running in balanced mode through Corsair Link. This keeps things quite and temps relatively low when gaming. I only run two case fans, on 230mm stock Cooler master fan, and one Corsair ML140 Pro fan. I've set a fan profile to keep these fans running medium speed as well. The end result is you don't here any fans when PC is running at idle, and even while gaming unless the GPU fans kick in loud.

CPU temp are never an issue, even while gaming.

 

I have 7700K and cryorig H7 in a very small case: fractal design 1100
Here is a temp, i use p95v2810.win64. Cpu is stock clock, i dont overclock and i dont intend to do that. If you want to run some specific stress test, let me know.
