This is going to sound stupid but I've never overclocked before.
Just overclocked my 7700K to 5GHZ all cores, 1.32 volts. It's running the Intel extreme utility stress test right now and is cruising at 70-73 degrees, not even over 15 degrees hotter than when i ran it at stock! Is that even possible? Is my computer misreporting the temperatures? Surely it would have died by now right?
RELEVENT SPECS
i7 7700k, delidded (Conductonaut liquid metal, Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut paste)
Noctua NH-D15 cooler
5 be quiet Silent wings 2 fans (4 140mm intake 1 120mm exhaust)
2 silent wings 3 top exhaust (used to be attached to a radiator)
Be quiet Silent base 801 with airflow front panel
Also, if this is really how much thermal headroom i have, how far can this chip go? SiliconLottery says the highest quality chips can go 5.3ghz!
Thank you!
