You're asking about keeping your i5-2500K stable. With a max core temp of 85°C and an overall temp range of 50-55°C, it seems safe to run it at current settings unless you notice instability. If you want to be cautious, lowering the overclock might prevent overheating issues. Good luck with your upgrade plans!

Core readings show individual chip temperatures. The main temperature reflects the entire system. (CPU, GPU, memory controller, storage, etc.)

I understand you're checking if the temperatures are acceptable.

A core temperature below 100°C is considered a "safe operating range" according to Intel. This is why they establish the thermal throttling point at 100°C. If it weren’t safe, they would have reduced it earlier. For the third generation they raised it to 105°C, and for the fourth generation they returned to 100°C. It’s fine at 85°C.
