Hey guys, today, I considered overclocking my i5 760, so I got real-temp and prime95 to do some stress-testing. Somehow, when I started the sensor test, the temperature went up, and kept going up - all of the four cores were nearly at 100c after a few minutes! The test only went 50% when I decided to stop. Should my processor be reaching near 100c on load? It doesn't seem right? or is prime95/realtemp supposed to push your processor to maximum temperature also (near TJMax)? (Distance to TJ Max was near 1-4 and the Thermal status sometimes flashes "HOT" and "LOG")
I'm still using the stock cooler.
The normal temperature though seems to be at a nice 35c.
Then I wonder, if I'm rendering out a lot of footage out of video editing software - my CPU is at near 100% load a lot! meaning my temperature is really high a lot of the time? Does that mean my processor could be damaged? or is this normal? and is there anything I could do?
Thanks guys!
