CPU temps after overclocking
CPU temps after overclocking
I recently upgraded my i5 7600k to 5ghz at 1.36v with the Corsair H80i v2. The room temperature is 32C, which is quite warm here in India. I ran a stress test on AIDA64 for 20 minutes and recorded the following temperatures: http://imageshack.com/a/img922/595/CsVnKB.png. Are these readings acceptable? Also, is maintaining a constant voltage of 1.36v appropriate?
Jack_242:
could you install an intake fan close to the expansion bays to direct airflow over the CPU?
What about using push/pull fans?
FSB ratio overclocking could help achieve higher temperatures.
I'm running out of options.
It seems temps won't improve much unless you remove the CPU. A lot of heat isn't being removed efficiently because of the thermal paste Intel uses between the CPU and the metal cover. It's not a big concern, I'd just monitor temperatures during intensive tasks like gaming or whatever this PC will be used for, ensuring they stay below stress test levels.
I notice a silicon lottery winner! If you were living in an environment with an ambient temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, what kind of clock could be developed?
The H80 radiator is positioned at the front of your case as an intake.
