Intel i5 2500k OC

Sholden · 2012-08-01 16:55:04

I have overclocked my Intel i5 2500k to 4.4Ghz. I was wondering if the temps are too high. I ran Intel burn test 10 times and the max temp was 76C. I'm assuming this isn't too high but just wanted a second opinion.

Well the tcase is 72.6°C so you are above the temp that intel recommend for long term use.
What cooler are you using?

I am using the Thermalright HR-02 macho. I though it wasn't too high simply because it's Intel burn test

Yeah actually it's probably fine. You are unlikely to reach that temp much during normal use.

What Voltage are you running on that Overclock, out of interest.
