Anyone help me finding out if this is okay temps if i OC?
I checked my HW monitor after comming back from the store and it was under 40 degress, sometimes it jumps a bit over 30 but falls again right after.
Temps are: around 22-25 on the 4 cores.

Anything under 80C is fine.

Once again, here's the recommended operating range for Core temperature:

80C Hot (100% Load)
75C Warm
70C Warm (Heavy Load)
60C Norm
50C Norm (Medium Load)
40C Norm
30C Cool (Idle)
25C Cool

Core temperatures in the mid 70's are safe, so just keep it under 80.

Read the Guide.

GGWP1337,

What was your ambient temperature during Prime95?

Which VERSION of Prime95?

Which Torture Test?

Also, before you overclock, you should read this Sticky: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.html

That sounds quite cold.

Here's the temperature conversions and a short scale:

Cx9/5+32=F ... or ... F-32/9x5=C ... or a change of 1C = a change of 1.8F

30.0C = 86.0F Hot
29.0C = 84.2F
28.0C = 82.4F
27.0C = 80.6F
26.0C = 78.8F Warm
25.0C = 77.0F
24.0C = 75.2F
23.0C = 73.4F
22.0C = 71.6F Norm ... or ... 22.2C = 72.0F
21.0C = 69.8F
20.0C = 68.0F
19.0C = 66.2F
18.0C = 64.4F Cool

Concerning Prime95, do NOT use any versions later than 26.6.

Here's the download: http://windows-downloads-center.blogspot.com/2011/04/prime95-266.html

Please, do yourself a favor and read the Guide, which explains why. Pay close attention to Section 13; Thermal Testing @ 100% Workload.
