Hi guys, i recently bought a new rig, and it works fine.........i have just a question to ask you: during a stress test with prime95 my Intel Core i7 2600k (at default stock) cooled with a Noctua NH-D14, the max temperature it reaches is 53°C..................is this high for a NH-D14?

Post Scriptum: in the case i overclock, what temperature will i reach?

That is a totally different cpu so there isn't a comparson. Damage will start around the high 90s and start to throttle at 90. You are fine now and you would be good to overclock in the future.
