Are this temps ok? OC 6700k
Are this temps ok? OC 6700k
Hello, everything looks good. OC 6700k with 4.5ghz and 1.29v is fine. Cooler: Noctua NH-D15. Image: http://imgur.com/a/AS4FA
Those are borderline too high if you're looking to run like that 24/7. You leave very little headroom for higher ambient temperatures or the cooler getting dirty. That being said, Aida64 produces an unnaturally high CPU temp which you probably won't ever encounter in the real world. You might try a long gaming or video encoding session and check the temps. 70C or lower is ideal.

3hrs of gta and csgo gaming. This is not good right?
maybe I messed up with applying thermal paste? bc even on stock clock I was getting 67-70C max on 1hr csgo sessions
It seems a bit excessive given the cooler. You might want to reapply the thermal paste and check if that improves things. If not, you could consider lowering the overclock or vcore slightly. I adjusted the voltage to 1.26v and turned off the XMP profile. The temperatures look okay now.

Is it still stable with that vcore? That's a solid overclock and the temperatures are much better.
Looks like it's holding up at least during a 15-minute test. I'll do an hour stress test soon. Thanks for your help!
