What is the proper temp for an i5 2500k at 4.5 Ghz? Right now im running prime 95 and its been an hour already and core temp shows.

68,71,74,70 as max temp in 100% load.

Are these temps safe? Should i still run prime 95 after an hour ?

hm... it was running for 2 hours straight fine i came home and my computer seemed to have restarted ?

I have Hyper 212+ and my the tower got a really nice airflow.

btw, uhmm. i have the voltage at 1.320 i believe ? would that have cause the restart?

Isn't the limit 90 or 100 degrees celsius? It's higher than I would like, but is it stable? You won't be running it like that all the time. Prime95 is designed to stress the chips to find any instability. If it's under a normal load and not at those temps constantly, then you should be fine.
