I checked my temperatures after overclocking and they seem normal.
I checked my temperatures after overclocking and they seem normal.
i have my i5-8600k at 5ghz. when i run prime95 with all workers, one core (core 2) reaches up to 84°C after a while. the average is about 74°C. are these temperatures normal?
my details:
CPU: i5-8600k
GPU: gtx 1070
PSU: 600 watt
COOLER: water cooler ML250
MTB: MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHZ
Initially, great work achieving your 8600K stable at 5GHz... Concerning the temperatures, for a 5GHz overclock on a 240mm AIO, those readings are approximately correct... Regarding the nearly 10-degree variation in one of the cores, is this a regular occurrence or consistently an 8 to 10 degree gap between core 2 and the others? If such a consistent difference exists, it might simply mean the cooler isn't seated properly.
Which Prime test is being used? If it's limited to small FFTs, the temperatures are acceptable at around 74°C. However, during the blend test, the temps rise too high. What voltage is set on the CPU? Are you modifying BIOS settings? Which power supply unit is installed? Increasing OC on CPU and/or GPU will strain the PSU. A 600W unit should suffice for OC, but if the PSU is underpowered, it might not be worth pushing further.
First of all, good work achieving your 8600K stable at 5GHz... Regarding the temperatures, for a 5GHz overclock on a 240mm AIO, those readings are approximately correct. Concerning the nearly 10-degree variation in one of the cores, is this a regular occurrence or consistently an 8 to 10 degree gap between core 2 and the others? If such a consistent difference exists, it might simply mean the cooler isn't seated properly and isn't functioning optimally. It appears to be occasional but usually maintains a temperature range of about 5 degrees.
