i7 9700k / @5Ghz / 55-67c under load

[styleflue2k]

I've overclocked my cpu to 5Ghz, and get 55-67c under load(gaming) my cooler is an corsair h60 running at 100% fan speed, wich can get a bit noisy. so what is the ideal temprature for 5ghz on this cpu? and with ideal I mean:

• Not shortening it lifespan
• Not degrading the cpu over time
• Not putting the cpu at risk

edit:

Ambient temps vary from 17-20c.

67C is actually decent, especially for 5GHZ. Some people run those temperatures at stock speed

Intel's spec on the matter is that sustained temps above 85c is(are) not recommended, and temperatures below 80c are(is) ideal. The 9700k's thermal shutdown is 105c, and I believe it starts to very heavily throttle at 100c.

Most people will tell you that somewhere between 70-75c is ideal if you're looking for a balance of noise and cooling.
