Check if the i5 4670K, when overclocked to 73°C under full load, exceeds safe operating limits.
I'm still getting familiar with this setup, but yesterday I successfully overclocked my i5 4670K to 4.6GHz at 1.28V. It's now stable with an idle temperature around 29°C. However, last night while using AIDA64, temperatures rose to about 68°C and briefly reached 73°C. When I also enabled "Stress FPU," the peak temperature went up to 77°C. Should I consider adjusting the clock speed and voltage, or is this within safe limits? Also, I'm using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler instead of the standard one.
