i5 6500 running too hot???
My i5 6500 is operating near 80°C during its highest load but never exceeds it. I'm using a Corsair h100i gtx and have installed it several times to confirm stability. The Arctic Silver 5 paste is applied, and it's been overclocked to 4.7ghz on an ASRock z170m extreme 4 motherboard. All suggestions are appreciated!
Hello!
80c is acceptable for peak temperatures on your CPU since it's overclocked at 4.7GHz. Generally, higher clock speeds lead to higher temperatures, but your H100i appears to be handling it well. A question remains: what are your idle temperatures? As long as they stay between 30 and 40°C and don’t approach 90°C under load, you're in good shape.

Hope this clears things up!

This thread covers safe temperature ranges for Intel processors.
For reference, Intel specifies a maximum processor temperature of 71°C.
Additionally, the Intel Core i5-6500-Processor model supports up to 3MHz cache at 60GHz.

Thanks for the quick reply! It only reaches up to 76°C and idles around 36–38°C. I wanted to check if I could push it a bit more because I love seeing how it performs!

To Adrian and Albionm00n-
This processor really messes with my friends 6600k, and I love it! It kind of gets me angry, but I can't help but smile and rub my hands together mischievously. Haha! But seriously, I'm excited to push this guy up to 4.8 stable!

I also have another thread where I did a 5.0 OC and ran a bench test with it. But according to everyone, it was a really bad idea that I tried... :/

This processor really messes with my friends 6600k and I enjoy it! It makes him annoyed but I can't stop smiling and rubbing my hands together mischievously. Haha! But seriously, I'm eager to push this guy up to 4.8 stable!

I also have another thread about a 5.0 OC with a bench test. People said it was a terrible idea... :/
Two words: Freaking Awesome!
