Do i really need to care about stress tests

[xhanne0]

Hey guys so i have a i53570k stock wich is 3.8 ghz turbo speed usually but with the board that i have wich is the Asus p8z77 V LX it can overclock it automaticly to 4.2 ghz but the problem is is when i stress test i get high high tempratures like 85 degrees C even do i have a H80i and i mean does the stress test matter cause neither of any games i play is a bottleneck with 100% so should i stick with 3.8 its acctualyy 3.6 acording to Cupid Z or 4.2 ghz Thanks ! BTw planning on getting Asus GTx 970 Strix soon aswell ! Specs:
CPU: i53570k
GPU: Saphirre 7850 OC version
PSU: Corsair TX650 /650 watt PSU)
Motherboard: Aus P8Z77 V LX

Well, you can't be letting that CPU hit 85C. There must be something wrong with the cooler mount.

when i play at bf4 for example its around 60 degrees celcius but prime 95. 85 degrees C i have never mounted a watercooler self before so i dont exactly know if thats the problem i got help mounting it that could be the problem but do i need to worry about this should i get it at 3.8 ghz or go 4.2 ghz my case is Core 300 btw from fractal design and how should i remount it then.

the asus automatic overclock always uses too much cpu voltage

use cpuz to check the cpu voltage under load

For now, just check that the thumb screws on the water cooler's pump are tight. They may have loosened over time and heat.

the voltage is fine it has nothing to do with that

How do i do that just charge my thubs in one of those contacts and the screw them harder with a screw ?

You shut down and turn off the PC at the PSU. Then you touch some bare metal first to discharge any static that you may have built up. Then you see if you can twist the 4 thumb screws any tighter with your fingers. If not, then that isn't the issue.
