Are my temps good?

[MattLantis]

Hey guys.

 

So I recently installed a thing to monitor my temps and stuff like that. I've got my 4690k overclocked to 4.5ghz, with a a Corsair H55 cooling it. In payday, the max it has hit was apparently 50°c. Are those temps good? Am I safe to overclock more? 

 

Thanks in advance,

Please run a proper stress test, like AIDA64

 

What voltages are you at?

You should try to stay under 1.35 volts on a normal overclock, and under 75 celsius. The H55 isn't a particularly good cooler either.

Yes, but anything over 4.5 may decrease system stability and won't really improve performance nearly as much as the initial GHz did.

Is that safe for Haswell? I've heard certain testers can overvolt CPUs or something

AIDA64 should be fine. I believe it's Prime95 that's bad with Haswell.
