IntelBurnTest/Prime95 at 75 C

[loosley]

Hey everyone,
I have an Intel Core i5-760 with the stock Intel HSF. The machine will never be overclocked, but I would like to verify that it is rock solid stable. My plan is to run IntelBurnTest and Prime95. However, thanks to the stock HSF, the core temperatures reach to around 75 C within a few minutes of running Prime95.

I would like to run Prime95 for at least 24 hours, and IntelBurnTest for 60 iterations or so (about 2 hours probably). Would running the CPU at 75 C for 24+ hours cause any problems to my CPU?

Thanks!

I dont have a i5 760 but the tcase is 71c in addition to core temp it should be around 76c.In other words the best max should be around 75 core temps.Anything above that is not recommended.

You shouldnt get any problems but you dont need to do stress testing, there is nothing to verify right now - at stock settings the cpu must be 100% stable.
