What's up guys,

Today i OC'ed my I5-3570k to 4.4GHz @1.264v and am a bit concerned about my IBT temps.

For reference i followed this guide: http://www.overclock.net/t/1291703/ivy-bridge-overclock...

My max Prime 95 temperature is 75c (That was the hottest core, The other 3 remained under 70c)

My IBT temps reached 89c(hottest core, rest remained under 85c) on very high settings.

For both these tests my room temperature was 27c.

So my questions are: which one do i pay attention to? Are these temps too high?

Thanks ahead of time and have a good thanksgiving guys.

IBT is know for quick stress testing of CPUs. It has the ability to take the CPU to its extreme fast. But the two pgms are for quite differnt testing processes. Believe both of them. I too get higher temps with IBT than Prime95 by a few degrees.

Intel recommends keeping the Tcase temp below 67.4C for extended periods. The Tcase will be slightly lower than the core temps if that is what you are reading. The core temp is maxed at the TjMax temp. But all that means is that the CPU will start to throttle back when it gets close to the TjMax to save itself.

Your temps would indicate that you are at about the max you want to O/C with the cooling system you have now. If fact, personally, I'd back off.

If you want to test stability without overheating your CPU...
I'd do 2 runs of Hyper-Pi 32m.
