i5 6600K temps?
Hello,
My CPU has been overclocked to 4.4GHz with a Vcore of 1.248v. This adjustment was made during the winter season.
The temperature in my room has risen to about 29-31°C because of the recent heatwave in the UK. Since there’s no air conditioning at home, I’m having to manage the situation myself.
However, with the significant increase in room temperature, my CPU performance has also noticeably improved. The OCCT now fails within minutes, unlike before when it remained stable during several 15-minute tests. During a large data set test, temperatures reached around 93°C. A Cinebench test showed a peak of 87°C, and rendering a 3:41 video in Camtasia 9 also hit 87°C after about a minute.
I understand that room temperature influences CPU performance, but I’m wondering if this is something to be concerned about. When I first set up the overclock, temperatures were around a comfortable 73°C during stress tests.
My CPU cooler is the Cryorig M9i, and my case uses the NZXT S340 with two exhaust fans at the top and rear and two intake fans (two Arctic F12s). I’m currently running the cooler at full speed due to the higher room temperature.
Under normal usage, I don’t experience high temperatures, but I do worry about reaching 80°C when the CPU is under heavy load.
Should I be worried? Are these temperatures typical given my cooling setup and current room conditions?
Well as long as cpu temps stay reasonable during gaming or other normal use then it is likely nothing to worry about. Personally I would take the overclock down maybe 100-200mhz or so, then lower the voltage a bit for the summer months.

^^ this!
If you want to keep things stable in the weather we're having then (as Dunlop0078 said) it'd best to scale back your OC a little.
Or alternatively, if you really want to keep that OC all year round and stay 100% stable, you could look water cooling (if you want to go down that road that is)
