Hello,

I have overclocked my i5 760 to 3,6 ghz. When running Intel burn test the oc seems stable. However, when running this test my temps reach at max 72c in real temp. I have read somewhere that my processor will down clock itself when reaching 72c or higher (something called Tc max i think). Is this true? I don't want my cpu to set a lower clock when I play Battlefield 4 for instance. My processor probably won't reach 72c in a game but still. And what is Tj max?

TjMac is the maximum safe temperature your processor can handle. Running it like that isn't healthy for it. Are you using a stock Intel Cooler?
