4690K safe temps

[TECKIEMAN]

I am a beginner with cpu temps but from what i know ,doing a prime 95 stress test for 5-7 Minutes , and my temps with be over 90 which isnt safe why is this? Any other software apart from prime 95 and i also have stock cooler with fresh thermal paste

Prime is an extreme stress test, so don't be surprised if your temps go really high.

A normal 100% stress test would be Hyper Pi or Cinebench render

If you go over 75°C on either of these, either drop your Vcore, or get a better cooler.

I managed to overclock on stock cooler because I have a "good" chip which will run fast at low voltage, in my case 1.12V

TECKIEMAN,

Here's the normal operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)

Core temperatures in the mid 70's are safe.

What is your ambient temperature?

Which version of Prime95, and which Torture Test?

Are you overclocked or running at stock?
