Under load? 61C is a perfectly safe temp. 

Posted

i overclocked my a8 6600k from 3.9 to 4.3ghz with stock voltage and it goes upto 60-61c is it hot or is it still safe? its max temp is 74c so its safe right? but wont it damage the cpu? 

edit: i tried prime95 for 1 hour it says hardware failure so i added a bit to the voltage

Since the T max is 74°C (as you already stated) you are good. However keeping your CPU cooler or as cool as possible can increase its overall performance and especially its lifespan so maybe take a look at some better cooling options.

Have you stress tested it? (Prime95, Maybe cinnebench). What cooler do you have? That seems to be a healthy temp. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Stock volts? Good to go.. 60 is nothing.. 80 is ok. 90 is getting a bit warm, 100 is too hot, and 105 or so it will probably shut down on you 👍
