Well shit Intel. Just finished my build 3 weeks ago and even though i heard the 7700k were running "warm"... i figured it would be ok. Running the stock 4.2 with a Cryo H7.
I'm consistently averaging in the low 80C during PUBG capped at 140... am i toast when i start to push it? Overwatch is about the same as well. :/
You definitely do not want to be pushing that thing if you're already averaging in the 80s. That's crazy. 80 is my limit, even knowing the max is 100. My monitoring software warns me anytime my CPU goes over 83.
I'm at mid 60s when playing BF1. Maybe hitting 70 when stress testing. I consider that "no room for overclocking" territory.
My problem is that my CPU is stable at 4.9Ghz at only 1.27v, but it becomes unstable when I enable my XMP profile and I do not know anything bout overclocking RAM in order to fine-tune things. So I keep my CPU at stock with my XMP profile enabled. 4.5Ghz (turbo) will have to do until I can delid my CPU somehow.
