Heat Problem when stress testing? (i7)

[westleysnipez]

So I was following this guide I was linked on how to overclock my i7: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=7528&mpage=2

I got to the part where it says run P95, RealTemp, and E-LEET.

After 5 minutes, my processor cores started reaching temperatures in the high 80s, my first core going as high as 94C. Usually they sit between 67-75 C. Is that normal when stress testing?

I don't really want to have a problem (ie. my computer breaking).

when stress testing at max load your cpu should be fine as long as it stays under 95C, altho under 85C is preferable. when your cpu stays around 90-95 it should be okay at 100% max load. just be sure not te leave it running like that for the entire day
