I am just new to overclocking, lately i am not satisfied with how my i5-650 @ 3.2Ghz Stock clock coz i play heavy games and it loads slow. So i started reading about OC or overclocking, i've learned things here and there and i OC'ed my cpu from the BIOS, after tweaking things i finally OC'ed my i5-650 from 3.2 to 3.8 i was happy with the results when i play games like crysis 2, nfs MW 2012, max payne 3. I also did a Prime95 stress test and my pc didnt crash or restarted, i also Downloaded "Core Clock" utility to monitor my cpu temps, but readings say i reach 85 degress celsius on full load! I have no idea is this safe? i dont crash at all which is good but i want to ask experienced people with how would my oc do to my hardware. I need Help please!
and note that i am using the stock fan and heat sink by intel. Im torn between 2 rivers, im a little bit confused now 85 degress and im not crashing but is this safe???
