I'm going to pretty much disagree with everyone here. 70-75 peak (for what I assume is package temp) is perfectly normal for that voltage. This CPU draws A LOT of power and is going to produce some heat under full load.

 

I try to keep mine under 80 while stress testing for 24/7 use. I run 1.26v for 4.6ghz and have temps very similar to yours.

See but 1.26 at 4.6 is a huge temp difference vs 1.25 at 4.3...

 

That's straight up 5-10C. (I did some testing of it on my 5820k and the difference can only be larger on a 5960x).

Ya, that's why he peaks in the low 70's while I peak in the middle to upper 70's.

Tearin' shit up and producing ridiculous amounts of heat.
