Hi, are my i5 2500k temps ok ?

[Naudus]

Hello, I bought a i5 2500k with a Ga-P67A-UD3 combo deal at Micro Center back on Jan,30th.. I decided to overclock and so i went into bios and changed the multiplier to 44x saved and left bios .. iv ran prime95 over night for a good 9 hour's no error's.
Only thing thats bugging me is my temp's.. Do they look ok?

Using core temp 0.99.8 at 1.272volt's

core0: high 56
core1: high 65
core2: high 69
core3: high 64

Are those temps during full load or while idling..? Also, are you running any aftermarket cooling solution or using the stock cooler..?

If they're load tempratures they are fine (just). If they are idle temps i'd be a little worried personally. In my opinion you shouldn't really overclock the processor unless you have one of those aftermarket heatsinks installed on your processor. The stock intel/amd ones are no good for overclocking. They don't have no heatpipes to dissapate the heat for a start!

Just to be on the safe side, I'd down to clocks to factory levels and invest in a heatsink, you don't want a nice processor like that having an early grave!

Hope i've helped

Hey, thanks for reply's. I am using a aftermarket cooler COOLER MASTER Hyper N 520

And yes thoughs temps are during a full prime95 test.. idle my temps are 30-34c gaming 45-48c..

For an everyday overclock, keep the voltage below 1.35v or 1.4v at the absolute maximum. 75ºC is the warmest you should allow the cores to get under Prime95 load. You would need to get a better cooler to go much higher on that overclock.
