CPU Temps!

[Trippyginger]

What are good temperatures an overclocked i5-3570k (clocked at 4.3ghz) should have? I keep a stable 55 degree c on prime 95. Are these good temps?

Yes but what are your idle temperatures like?

[Fordox]

idle doesn't really matter.

with a i5 i wont go higher than about 70. so you've got plenty of headroom try to keep it under the 73 with a linpack stress tester (like LinX)

My Core i5-750 (O.C. 4,02 GHz) is around 96°C at 100% load (Prime95 x64 In-place large FFTs), my room temperature is around 21°C.

Mmmmmm, extra crispy, fry me up one while you're at it :)

If you have temperatures under 70-75ºC then you shouldn't worry too much

Anything above 75ºC and I would either upgrade the cooling or reduce the overclock
