I7-4790k Overclocking Temps

[AeroCurt234]

Hey, I've just had a go at overclocking my I7-4790k to 4.6Ghz and it seems stable and all good. The temperatures get up to around 73 celsius under 100% load for 2 minutes straight. Do you think this is okay?

Just curious if that is a good temperature for this CPU, Intel's website says around 74 celsius Is fine I believe.

anything under 80C is fine. Personally I aim for <70C to increase chip longevity but again <80C full load is usually considered fine for a 24/7 overclock.

generally I run intel burn-in tool for 10-20 consecutive runs. If it does not crash or go over my thermal limit (in my case 70C) the overclock is generally solid. Point being 2 minutes is not long enough.
