Hi,
Thanks to both of you for your quick replies !
The thing is, that I am not intending to overclock my CPU (at least, not for the moment). I find the 4,4 / 4,5 Ghz in turbo mode satisfying
for the moment. I just want to take no risks with my CPU by exposing it with anormally high temperatures while in game (Like PUBG, which is the game I play which uses the maximum ressources) and make it the coolest as possible !
Hi Rokha88
On auto settings your cpu will get overvolted. Set the CPU Core/Cache voltage to Manual and enter in 1.15v - 1.20v in the "CPU Core Voltage Override", this should lower temps a good bit.
And yes, all the parameters in the BIOS are the defaults one, so the most of it are in automatic mode. I didn't touch anything as I am pretty noobish about BIOS modifications.
So what you say is all I have to do is to change these parameters and the temps should be lower than at the moment ? Do I have to change something else in the BIOS ?
What are the steps I should follow after that ? I mean, how can I be sure those settings won't harm my system or make it instable ?
I have never done such changes in my BIOS so I'm a bit stressed about it. Sorry if my questions and worries may seem stupid.

7700K is a hot chip.
If you want to cool it down and have any chance at OC you will need to delid and replace the toothpaste that intel is using for TIM.
Thanks for you reply.
Indeed, I have read that the 7700k is a very hot CPU. That's why I am not worried more than that but I want to make it the more durable by limiting the heat exposure.
And you are right, I have read that the thermal paste shoud be replaced at least every 1 year ? I have my computer since like 1 month, do you think I should already re-apply/replace it ?
And yes, another question is : do you think the Bequiet pure rock slim is a really bad choice for the i7-7700 K ? I have been told this could be one of the reasons ...
Thanks again for your answers and have a nice day.
Rokha.
