Hi!
I'm doing my first overclock on my 5960x.
System
CPU: Intel i7 5960x
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Nepton 280L
MB: Asus X99-Pro
GPU: GTX 980Ti
RAM: Corsair Vengeance (8x8gb) 64gb 2133Mhz (XMP to 2400Mhz atm)
So far I've tried 4.2ghz at 1.19v.
Running Prime95:
Package Max: 77 C
Core Max: 54 - 61 C (most cores around the 57 C mark, 2 cores run slightly hotter at 60/61 C)
Idle package temp is 40 C and idle core temp is 20 C.
I have no idea if this is okay, can I push it further, do I need to scale back. I've tried reading about good temps but can't seem to find a great answer among some conflicting information.
The speed also seems to be pinned to 4.2GHz regardless of my usage, whereas before the overclock it would fluctuate lower than its base depending on what I was doing. is this normal?
Thanks!
