This was my first ever build and first ever attempt at overclocking so bear with me. I have been looking around for potential causes of my problem but without much luck.
I have the new 5820k processor and have pushed the clock speed from 3.3 mhz to 3.8 mhz. My core voltage is 1.102. I ran prime95 and monitored temperatures and within 10 minutes I was already in the lower 90s and my Tmax is only recommended to be at 95. Temperatures at basic usage (which includes heavy duty photoshop with files up to a couple gigabytes, but no gaming) rarely exceed the 50s to 60s.
My question is why would my temps be running so hot? I have read of multiple people pushing this CPU into the mid 4s and their voltage up to 1.25 or beyond. I do have a warmer case in the Fractal R4 but have 4 case fans installed AND a CPU cooler (enermax ETS-T40). They are all functioning at max speeds. From my understanding you can consider a system stable if the CPU temps generally stay 10-20 degrees below the max recommended. I don't intent to push the system any further as this is all I really need but I am at a loss if even this is too much and if so how others are able to attain much higher OC speeds while keeping temps down.
Any ideas?
