70 degrees - Safe?
Last response: in Overclocking
Hi All,
I've had a system that I built now for about a year, and I've been experimenting with overclocking since I built it.
I have a Core i5 750 with a Noctua NH D14 cooler. I've finally decided that I would like to run a 4.0 GHz overclock as my primary setup.
I am able to keep all the C states enabled, but I have kept Turbo Boost off. Under full load in Prime 95 my temps are around 70 degrees centigrade.
Obviously this would only be hit in normal use from time to time, and the C states will keep it cool (around 25-30) while idle.
Is this a safe enough temperature to use everyday?
Regards,
Eric

I have switched my thermal paste already from the stock noctua paste - which is probably quite good - to Arctic Silver.
The best thermal balance I have been able to find so far is around 3.8Ghz, where the chip only really hits low 50's for temperature. I think this is an excellent trade off for the 200mhz difference.
Its not 4 GHz but in all honesty I don't think the CPU is my bottleneck for much.

As a final report,
Playing around with the vCore voltages a bit and the load line calibration, I have been able to stabilize the temperatures around 60-63 degrees.
I feel that for a 4Ghz clock, this temperature should be quite safe, according to recommendations, as well as compared to standard temps that I see others getting.
Many thanks for the advice.
