I5 4670k overclock. Are these temps good ?

dazkyl,

I see that you ran P95 Version 26.6, so you must've read this: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

For the benefit of others who might be less informed, I'll re-post the following:

Section 11 - Thermal Testing @ 100% Workload

We all remember science class where one of the basic principals for conducting any scientifically controlled experiment, is that it's critical to follow the same procedure every time. This eliminated variables so results will be consistent and repeatable. If everyone is testing their rigs with X stress software at Y Ambient temperature with Z measuring software, then it's impossible to compare apples to apples.

This is why processor temperatures continue to be a major source of confusion and debate. In this Section we'll explain how to properly test your rig. It's important to remember that we are not stress testing; we are thermal testing to produce a Core temperature benchmark.

Prime95 Small FFT's is the standard for CPU thermal testing, because it's a steady-state 100% workload. This is the test that Real Temp uses to test sensors. The link above is to version 26.6, which is well suited to all Core 2 and Core i variants.

Core i 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation CPU's have AVX (Advanced Vector Extension) instruction sets. Recent versions of Prime95 run AVX code on the Floating Point Unit (FPU) math coprocessor, which produces unrealistically extreme temperatures. The FPU test in the software utility AIDA64 shows the same results.

It's not necessary to run AVX code for thermal testing. Prime95 v26.6 produces temperatures on 3rd and 4th Generation processors more consistent with 2nd Generation, which also have AVX instructions, but do not suffer from thermal extremes due to having a soldered Integrated Heat Spreader and a 35% larger Die.

Prime95's default test, Blend, is a cyclic workload for testing memory stability, and Large FFT's combines CPU and memory tests. As such, Blend and Large FFT's both have cyclic workloads which are unsuitable for CPU thermal testing.

Other stability tests such as Linpack and Intel Burn Test have cycles that load all registers with all one's, which is equivalent to a 110% workload, and are also unsuitable for CPU thermal testing. The software utility OCCT runs elements of Linpack and Prime95.

Shown above from left to right: Small FFT's, Intel Extreme Tuning Utility CPU Test, and AIDA64 CPU Test.

The "Charts" in SpeedFan show how these tests create different thermal signatures. Intel Extreme Tuning Utility is also a cyclic workload. Although AIDA64's CPU test is steady-state, the workload is insufficient, and it's not available as freeware. ... "
