Are these safe temperatures for my overclocked i5 3570k on my stock cooler?
I did an hour test on Prime95

What was your ambient temperature during P95 v26.6?

Was that Small FFT's?

At 22C Standard Ambient, here's the typical operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)

22 C

Yeah, my CPU core temperatures should be 72 C at the most. I doubt it will ever go that high in real-world daily tasks though which is why I'm not worry. I just don't really know why two of my cores are hotter than 72 C though. :(
