I'm trying to push my CPU further and have achieved a stable overclock at 4.6 GHz. It passed Intel's burn test and ran for two hours on Prime95 at 1.200V. I own the Kraken x61 liquid cooling setup, but temperatures remain around 75°C on average, spiking up to about 81°C during Prime95. Is this temperature acceptable?

Prime yes, your fine. What are the typical idle and working temperatures?

For Prime yes your fine, what are the usual idle and working temperatures?
Normal idle was around 38C and under a lighter load than Prime it was mid 70s still. I also tried 4.5 GHz and it never really went over the mid 70s even in Prime, kind of thinking I might just go with that.
