I have a i7-2700K lightly overclocked to 4.4ghz. I ran the prime95 inplace large FFT's stress test and RealTemp showed temps hovering around 67-69c for 32 hours straight. I have read others are overclocked higher and are running cooler.
So should I attempt to reapply the thermal paste? Will making the chip run cooler lengthen the life of it? or is it just not worth the hassle?
I am air cooled and running a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 to cool the CPU.
