Monte Carlo simulations are performed on three high entropy alloys: Cr0.25Fe0.25Co0.25Ni0.25, Cr0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2Pd0.2, and Cr0.2Mn0.2Fe0.2Co0.2Ni0.2, with exchange interactions extracted from The ab initio Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method combined with the coherent potential approximation calculations. Using finite size scaling analyses, we estimate the magnetic phase transition temperature for the four component alloy to be 108(2) K, and although the individual critical exponents are different from 3D Heisenberg universality class, the reduced exponent follows Suzuki weak universality. With the additional Palladium component, the transition temperature elevates to about 200 K. In contrast, we find no magnetic order for the five component alloy with Manganese at any finite temperatures.
