Just wondering what is acceptable temps on i5 4670k. I have it on stock clocks under a NZXT Havik 140 air cooler. I ran it in prime 95 under the torture test and highest core was at 46c. Idling the highest core is 31c. are these good temps and how far can I OC this CPU under this cooler?

For Intel CPU's you want to never really go above 85 degrees Celcius, above that is a danger zone where you start to see degradation and potential CPU damage. No one can really tell you how far you can overclock as all microprocessors come from a silicon wafer, which is a round flat sheet of silicon. Due to the manufacturing processes involved in the production of CPU’s, the CPU’s that are closer to the centre of this wafer usually perform better than those which are situated further from the centre. As a result, you cannot expect to have an exceptional chip every single time, nor can you expect to get the same overclocking results as someone who has the same or a similar rig to yourself. Being lucky enough to get a chip from the centre...

Being lucky enough to get a chip from the centre of the wafer, and it is about luck, is what is known as “Winning the silicon lottery”.

As a rough estimate, I would estimate that you shouldn't have issues reaching 4.5, but as said before, no one can really tell you about how that chip will overclock.

Awesome! When I was installing the CPU cooler it seemed like I used a lot and I never exactly put the cooler on very well. I put it down and realised I had to shift it up probably 2cm lol. My first build ever, lots to learn.
