Hi!
I am rendering a video using Sony Vegas and my CPU is at 90C.
The video will be done in approx. two hours.

So my question is do you think my CPU will last for two hours or will it get fried?

Also some other things,
It is an i5 overclocked to 4.20 GHz, I am using the stock cooler (lol not good), and my GPU is also overclocked.

Here's a screenshot of MSI Afterburner and CPU temp.


But back to the question, will it survive this?

Thanks in advance!
Love, Me.



..And here are my specs for anyone who wants to know:

OS: Windows 10 / Ubuntu / Elementary OS Freya
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 3.40GHz OC'd @ 4.20GHz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2400MHz
SSD 1: Samsung Evo 850 250GB
SSD 2: Samsung Evo 850 500GB
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G43



EDIT: Grammar correction.

Huh? The only way I know to override Intel cpu's that are non-k and OC are by using BCLK OC since Intel microcode is hardwired not to be accessed by the multiplier in even a Z board. This was true for Sandy Bridge, Ivy-Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell but has been relaxed for Skylake which will allow a BCLK OC on a Z board since it only affect the cpu now, not the entire buss. If you are using BCLK to OC, I'd drop it back to 100 asap. In older gen it affects everything on the buss, all communication between hdd and cpu, ram speeds, memory controller performance etc. It's not just the vcore you'll be cooking, its the VRM's, NB, pcie buss, everything.

And yes, 1.25v is way high for 4.2GHz, my 3570k is at 4.3GHz at 1.16v and my 3770k is at...

Probably, maybe, who knows? They are designed to thermal throttle when the temperature nears 100C. I would not run overclocked until I got a decent cooler, unnecessary risk. You could try removing the side cover and blowing a fan on it until you finish rendering, it may help lower the temps a bit.

who says you cant on a stock cooler? there is no reason you can't on a stock cooler if your temps are fine.

That temp isnt too high but its definitely not recommended for something being ran 24/7.

I'm not saying one can't, I'm saying one shouldn't.

4.2GHz is still within the stock voltage size of the 3570k, so nothing is really changed temp wise by more than a few °C. What needs to be done is vcore adjustment to find the lowest stable voltage possible. If you did nothing more than bump the multiplier up to 42, its still running on abnormally high stock voltages, usually around 1.25v. This should be dropped to 1.14v or so, which is enough to drop the temp @10°C or so.

90°C won't burn up the cpu any time soon, but what it will do over the course of a couple hours is seriously dent it's life expectancy. Do this several times, and a cpu that'll last an easy 10 years is suddenly looking at 1-2 at best before there's enough damage to start throwing errors.

General rule of thumb is don't OC unless done so with adequate cooling, and stock coolers are designed for adequate cooling at moderate usage. Wouldn't matter if the cpu is OC or not, the stock cooler can't handle that kind of load, its extreme, the only 2 possible answers are get better cooling and lower vcore as much as possible

I gave me the brilliant idea to OC it with teh stock cooler. But I'll look into the Cryoig H7. Thanks.



I forgot to mention that it is a non-K. But the motherboard I have allows me to overclock it, though. It's really neat! And also I did increase the voltage to 1.25v. Maybe I'll drop it down to its stock voltage later. As I can't afford a new one so I'd prefer to not kill it. At least not yet.
Thanks for letting me know!
