I have my 3570k OC'd to 4.6 with 1.375v. I have a H100i and my temps are high 70's-low 80's under load in Prime 95.
Should I have any concerns ?

Thanks in Advance.

yup, that is a little high, if you just want numbers then it's fine, but for 24/7 or everyday use, i would lower it.

personally, i OC to increase game performance (while pairing with a decent gpu of course), but since 4ghz is enough for the games that i play, i lowered it down from 4.5, it was just too hot while not being utilized anyway.

but of course, that is just me, to each his own

Going with 4.4 OC at 1.275 with High 60's-lower 70's under load. On a side note - in the original post it was 1.375 in Bios but HWmonitor showed less then 1.3v average if that makes a difference.

Thanks again.
