Hi,
I am running an Intel Core i7 875K in an ASUS P7P55D-E Pro and it's overclocked to 3.788 gHz. I'm using a CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ and idle temps are in the 30C range, measured with CoreTemp. The system has been running totally stable since June of 2010. I rarely check my CPU temps.
The other day I was running a Handbrake encode and decided to check my CPU temp with the ASUS PCProbe tool. The klaxon sounded and the CPU temp indicator was red and indicated about 77C. I was a little concerned but it wasn't the first time I've done an encode so I didn't worry about it.
Today I loaded CoreTemp and did some further testing. When the CPU cores hit 100% load for a while, the temp peaked at 79C (max of all cores). CoreTemp says my TJMax (wait, isn't that a discount store?) is 99C and I have read that a 20C differential is safe, but I just wanted to check that I'm not putting the CPU in danger.
Comments? TIA
