I was thinking about overclocking my Core i5 760 to see if I could get a little more juice out of this old war horse.
I downloaded the Intel Extreme Tuning app and ran a CPU stress test. my processor imminently jumped off the charts to above 99C!
So i opened it up, took of old thermal paste, applied new coat and ran the test again, the CPU now idles at 45C, but it will get up to around 90C running the stress test. Is this too high?
I have come to the realization that overclocking this chip with the factory fan/heatsink would be Ill advised. But are these temps with the factory clocks still to high?
