With the Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon processor sitting on the desktop at an idle we observed an average CPU core temperature that bounced around 26-28C and the voltage was at 0.7220V. If it works, we hope that Intel uses it on all Broadwell processor or at least the Broadwell K-series processors when they come out later this year. Some will be disappointed that Intel didn’t solder the lid down on Devil’s Canyon, but everyone should be happy that Intel improved the thermal interface material. Intel says that new thermal compound should mean that you can get better CPU temperatures. The Intel Core i7-4790K Devil’s Canyon processor uses Next-Generation Polymer Thermal Interface Material (NGPTIM), so let’s take a look at idle and load temperatures to see if we can tell a difference between the 4770K and 4790K when tested on the same exact system with identical applications of Gelid Extreme Thermal Compound on the Corsair H105 Closed Loop Water Cooler.
