Hi All,

I have an i5 3570k overclocked to 4.1ghz with a Cooler Master Seidon 120m for cooling. After running prime95 for a couple hours, my temps were around the mid 70s (c). While reading other online reviews of the cooler, people reported temps under load of around high 50s lower 60s.

Is there anything I should be worried about here? Could the cooler not be mounted properly or am I just overreacting?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry, you're running an overclocked chip with CL cooling. I wouldn't be surprised if others were running a better cooling setup or don't have the chip overclocked as high.
