Overclock Help!

wotzgoingon · 2011-08-05 18:36:10

Hi this is my first overclock and i was running Prime95 on stress test and i was getting the below temps they seem really high. Prime was running in the background. I was only running it for about 8 to 10 mins and i decided to cut the program before it does some bad damage. So are these normal temps to be getting??

That's way too high, you will want to get better cooling or turn down your OC.
In general 75 degrees would be a good maximum temp, but lower would be better.
