8600k Overclocked Temps

[manefesto]

Should I be worried about my 8600k I have it Overclocked to 5ghz at 1.4v and max temp during Prime95 is 95c but that is what it hit but it mostly stays around 88c. I have a H60 liquid cooler on it atm. But should I lower my OC if that temp is too high? Or do you guys think that this is fine.

well stress testing your CPU isn't a regular thing and trust me if it gets too hot it will put the brakes on itself.

What's the temp while gaming? that's more important.

It sits around 60c-75c depending on the game I do get over 160 fps on most games now too.

I do not worry too much about temperatures.
The cpu will slow down or shut off if it reaches a dangerous temperature.
That is about 100c.
Prime95 as a stress test is a bit nasty. Under normal use, you will not see those temperatures.

I would be more worried about vcore. 1.4 is about the limit.

If you have implemented speedstep, the multiplier and vcore will reduce when there is little load.
That is good.

Lastly, H60 is not the best of coolers.
But, if it is working, I would not change it out.

Make certain that it gets plenty of fresh air to do its job.

How much do you need 5.0?
I like to back off a bit.

I don't need it at 5ghz it just was cool that the board allowed me to do it, I took it down to 4.6ghz and under full load it's at 62c at highest temp

I have the same CPU and I also got mine to 5GHz but was not happy with it running at that speed at 1.368v with temps hitting 80's C degrees. Still its good to know yours hits 5GHz!!!

I have mine running at 4.9GHZ now at a low vcore 1.278c and under 70 C degrees at load which you should be able to achive so long as you have a good CPU cooler. Mine is a Triple fan AIO..

Am i lucky? I have ran asus dual processor 5 and it is now running stable at 5.2ghz with 1.341V and temps are idle 35-38 and whilst load 80-75 (celsius)

I guess i'm lucky too! I'm running a 1.29vcore at 5ghz using a Corsair H100i v2. Idle temps are around the low 30's. Prime95 after 30mins might touch 70, but it usually stays in the 60's.
