Hello. I have an i5 4670k OCed to 4.2ghz. My idle temps are 44 to 50c. I just put new thermal paste on. What's weird to me is I just played Witcher 3 for over an hour and my temps never went above 55c. Can anyone tell me if this is okay, or should I be concerned? Thanks.

Yeah it seems you hit the limit for your chip in that case. In my opinion anything over 70 is a bit high, if you are concerned about the longevity of your chip. If not then its fine.

I can't seem to go any higher than 4.3 I'm currently at 4.3ghz and 1.280 voltage. My temps are around the same as the 4.2 OC. Also on some other games my temps did go up a bit. To the low/mid 70's. Is this okay?
