i5 6500 running too hot???

[Fragmet]

My i5 6500 is running at around 80° at its peak but never passes. I'm using a Corsair h100i gtx and I've seated it multiple times to make sure. I'm using arctic silver 5 paste and it is over clocked to 4.7ghz on a ASrock z170m extreme 4 mobo. All answers are welcome!

Greetings!

80c is fine for a peak temp on your CPU seeing as it is overclocked at 4.7GHz. The higher the clock, the higher the temps, but your h100i seems to be doing its job. One question, what are your temps at idle? As long as these aren't high (30 - 40c) and you don't near 90c under load, you are golden

Hope this helps!

Here is a link to the thread discussing about safe temps for Intel Processors.

Btw, intel has its proc Tcase max at 71c meaning it should not go over it.

Thank so much the speedy response and honestly it only peaks at 76° and it idles at 36°-38° just wanted to see if I could oc it some more cause I enjoy pushing this little guy!

Hello Adrian! I'm positive it's a 6500 my mobo has an older bios that allows me to do bclk over clocking.

Yeah apologies for that. You might want to keep the temps below 70c as its package is limited to 71c by Intel.

You are welcome! Have fun, but be careful and remember it is your friend and you need to rely on it (unless you have spares of course)

Also, @ Adrian Ocampo, it can be possible to overclock an i5 6500 under the right conditions. Here is a post from this site about it:

Hmmmm...I may have to look into playing around with this...

To Adrian and Albionm00n-

This processor seriously walks all over my friends 6600k and I love it! It kinda pisses him off but I can't help but to smile and rub my hands together in an evil way. Haha! But in all seriousness I can't wait to get this guy up to 4.8 stable! I have another thread where I did a 5.0 OC and ran a bench test with it. But according to everyone it was a really bad idea that I even attempted it... :/
