Is my cpu temp good or not ?

[dazkyl]

i oced my core i5 750 from stock to 3.8.

Im now stress testing it with prime95 (small fft) and the temperatures are now (75,73,70,73).

Idle are (45,41,43,42).

Is everything safe in terms of temperatures ?

Whats the maximum safest temperature one can get on an overclocked cpu because i was going to try and raise to 4.0ghz

Good catch, you want air to flow in one direction, or as close to it as possible. Front to back, bottom to top.

Ah, for your fans you want (need) the top to be exhaust, because heat rises. You generally want positive airflow, so have those two side fans be input, and the back to be exhaust.

My side fans are getting air into the pc and going out to the other side of the case. I think top fan is throwing air into the case as it has an air filter (like aircondition filters) and 2 bottom fans are throwing air into the case as well as they have air filters too. Rear fan is pushing air out of the case.

even with side fans...it should face the rear exhaust.
why would you want hot air blowing around your baby? the objective is to get it out asap.
i think that guy may have been n00b.

Flip that top fan around, it's useless as input and you have a lot of it anyways. That one change could make a huge difference in temperatures.

Sorry. a small edit. i think the top fan is throwing air out of the case. Than why does it have an air filter on top of it ? (http://www.nag.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/179b.jpg)

The 2 bottom fans that i installed are pushing air into the case.

Err. No clue. Continuity?

So lets be clear , the 2 side fans and 2 bottom fans are all pushing air into the case . The fans that are throwing air out of the case are the top fan and rear fan. All good ?

sounds good on this eend.

Perfect, just flip that cooler around and you have a perfect cooling setup. Keep in mind some pastes take a while to settle and give the temps they'll end up with, so when you reapply it, your temps will go up for a couple days, and after about a week, you'll have great temps at full load.

So i flip my cpu cooler so that its facing the rear fan ?

Si senor.

I CANNOT BELIEVE a so called tech put that shit in blowing hot air all over your insides.
dude should be slapped with a brick of wet horse shit.

OKAY OKAY, CALM DOWN. Everybody knows cow feces smell worse.

Haha , i will have to make it facing the rear fan , so that hot air will immediately go out of the case , am i right ? 😉

 

[spyrizzle]

you are 100% correct.

Straight lines! Keep the air moving in one direction! You're creating a vacuum between your cooler and rear fan that's just kinda stopping all the airflow in your computer.
