What is the standard idle temp for an i7-4820K Quad-Core 3.70 GHz 10MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011 and what is the max temp for this processor.

When i run my PC on normal my temp is about 40C at idle and when i run on performance it spikes up to 70-80C is this normal? if not what can i do to fix this? is there a warranty i can buy to protect from overheating after i buy PC? can i pay someone to install fans or anything like that?

Hi Joey1215,

Your processor has a TCase value of 66.8 °C; anything from the Tcase and below will be the expected temperature of the processor in normal use.

When the processor is stressed out meaning that you are running heavy processor applications that take control of the CPU or uses it at 100% the temperature will go beyond the Tcase.

If during stress your processors temperatures do not overpass the 90°C degrees; it means that your processor is working as expected.

If the processor temperature reaches 100 degrees or more it will send a signal to the motherboard to shut down to prevent mayor damages and most likely it will not be possible to turn the computer back in until it cools down.

The following link will provide more information about the http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-033342.htm http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-033342.htm

However, you might want to run the Intel® Processor Diagnostic Tool. http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-031726.htm http://www.intel.com/support/processors/sb/CS-031726.htm

thank you for your help, i downloaded the diagnostic software and ran all the test. My PC passed but my cores got to 96,91,94,97C so i wasnt sure if that test is designed to be harder on the system or if i need to change anything on my setup to help with heat reduction
