heat problem during prime 95

[Jason Zhang]

so I OC'd my i7 3770k last night to 4.4Ghz with stock voltage and ran prime 95 for about 30 minuets when temperatures started spiking into the high 80s so i turned off the stress test. In the 30 minuets no errors were found and the pc never stuttered. So at its current setting Is it stable enough?

I have 17 3770k currently oc'd at stock voltage to 4.4 Ghz

Prime stresses more than you will see in real use so the important temp is under normal load!
