I5 3570K Temp Set

I did go ahead and do this after a long bout with Windows 7 update (meh worst thing about a building a new PC is reinstalling Windows). The highest that any core got to under Small FFT's was 63C. Temps have always been a sticky situation for me for whatever reason. I take it 63C is a fairly decent score for that test? Just trying to set some metrics before I mess with voltages for obvious reasons. How long should small FFT's run?

Yeah, that's a good temp. You don't need to let it run for very long. 10-15 minutes is enough for a good temp check. When you start OC'ing is when you need to let it run longer to test for stability.

I'll go ahead and do that now that I have it up to 4.4ghz or so. Thanks for your advice, it's been a few years since I last attempted this and my last system was just too unstable to handle much ocing. I can't remember if that would actually update when you oc the chip or not, sorry edited because I remembered it was CPU Z
