Are these temps ok for a 2500k?

[Homeboy2]

I just put together a 2500k. I have the crappy stock cooler on it for the time being, it idles at around 32 degrees C and goes to 75C on Prime 95. The idle is fine, it just seems too high for full load. whatcha think?

 

[davcon]

Looks ok to me considering your idle is great and you'll never see those Prime95 temps in daily use..

 

[gnomio]

Are you overclocking on that crappy stock cooler?

What Davcon said your pc will never run like that day to day.

 

[hunuok]

Those temps look fine.

 

[st4rkill3r]

It's fine if you're not O.C.ing.

As Stated, Temps are OK. Gaming will not load the cpu as much as prime 95 and I would expect a drop of approx 5C for Games.
Max temp for the I5-2500k is around 95 C at which point the protection circuit kicks in and throttling takes place.

Try running furmark in a window and monitor temps for GPU and CPU. (also Not that the +12 does not drop below 11.6 V (My limit, spec is 11.4 V)

That said:
(1) stock HSF = NO overclocking.
(2) The cooler the better, I never even install the Intel HSF, for about 30 bucks you can get an excellent HSF, The Hyper 212. I have the Zalman 9900Max (TOO EXPENSIVE) and my I5-2500K @ 4.2 GHz and running prime 95 just hits 60C.

Thanks chief, No overclock, I just installed the stock cooler because I don't have the bracket needed for my Thermalright ultra 120 which has two Noctua's in push-pull. I didn't order the bracket because I have a water cooling setup arriving by Fedex tomorrow. That should solve any overheating prob.

Sounds good to me,
... Enjoy!

Okay,let me tell you something...My i5 2500 non K version OCed to 41x103.5Mhz does a 72C max with prime95 stress test.It idles at 33-34C.
Mobo: P8P67(bios updated to 1850).
BEFORE BIOS UPDATE TEMPS WERE REACHING 86C.So consider updating your bios if you haven't.

Updated to 1850 did nothing for temps one way or the other. just added water cooling, temps beautiful now.

^Do you the same mobo??What are your temps now??

overclocked to 4.3 idle 25 , load 45

 

[RetiredChief]

Great, Enjoy

I had the same temperatures with the stock heatsink. I bought a Coolermaster Hyper 212+ and now I have a maximum of 50 degrees at full load. This is the best 25$ I've spent in my computer

Those are nice temps. Did you run prime on it again?
