Thats the cooler i've got on my i5-760 and it comfortably goes to 3.6GHz. When I pushed it up to ~4GHz it does get a bit hot whilst running Prime95 so I backed off. As an aside to this, how hot would you lot allow your CPU to get whilst running Prime95 large FFT's for 1 hour?

80C would be a max for those willing to push.... (Prime 95)

70C-75C is more conservative.... (Prime 95)


NOTE: the chips will shut themselves off at about 100C
