Hi, scouring all over google to try to find 2600k max temps is rather disturbing. So many different answers, so many blatently wrong answers, and so many answers that apply to the wrong term back and forth between them. A lot of people are saying "Oh, the max temp is this" "No no no where did you hear that it's this!" and I think they're not differentiating core vs cpu (I assume?).
From what it seems to be:
The max temp >for the CPU< is ~70C
The max temp >for any core< is ~90C
Right now I'm running 1.35v, 4.5GHz with HT on. My core temps max out at around 73C, my CPU temp maxing out at around 55C (Both rough numbers). This is in OCCT over all the tests (I don't like using prime because It puts heat on CPUs that I've never, ever seen in any program, whereas OCCT hits the same numbers I use when encoding video, which also uses 100% of all my cores).
My setup is in my signature; MX-2 for thermal paste, stock fan on the venomous X RT. For this setup:
1. Do these temps seem average?
2. What kind of actual headroom do I have for these temps? I'm either right at the edge, or have a LOT to go yet from what I've found so far.
3. Voltage for 24/7 use? 1.4 seems to be a border between people who think it's a good or bad idea, yet intel rates it up towards 1.5v (?).
4. What exactly is TJMax in comparison to a core temp?
5. OCCT (HWmonitor built in) temps and voltages seem to be in line with what's to be expected of this system. Should I be using something else? A lot of people sware by coretemp, however last time I tried other temp programs, they all turned out to be the same regardless.
