Is 59°C at 80% load acceptable for your setup?
Is 59°C at 80% load acceptable for your setup?
understand what temperature ranges are regarded as stable for your setup. you have a 750watt non-metal case with an ASUS LE and an i5 2500k LGA1155 socket.
I have an i7-3770K and an i5-3570k; for many tasks the i7 is significantly superior, making it a strong upgrade. On the other hand, my Asus p8z77-v LE feels quite limited. The i5 works fine, but I prefer the performance of my MSI Mpower Z77 (similar to the Gene).
The i5-2500k should run directly on the Gene, while the i7-3770K would require the latest BIOS for your p8p67 due to a transition from Sandy-Bridge to Ivy-Bridge. You’d get the best immediate results with the 3770k only if its overclocking was average; otherwise, you won’t achieve stable high overclocks on it. The i7 isn’t suited for serious overclocking until you upgrade to the Gene.
Your post is messed up. But I'll say this. Run Prime95 version 26.6 and choose the small fft option. With liquid cooling the test should be run for at least 1/2 hour. If temps are @75°C or lower, you are good. If the cpu temp goes above 75°C, shut down the test, it's too much.
Ok so i fixed my post i saw that also i have another quwstion so, i was gonna spend roughly 200 this friday on either the i7 3770k upgrade or the. Asus MAXIMUS V GENE which would be the best too upgrade too, please let me know i am STRICKLY a gamer, multimedia user, constant programs up. So ya i like the mob alot tho

Karadjgne, thank you. I decided to purchase the i7 at 3770k in the future and keep my notorious I5 at 2500k for gaming right now. I plan to work with the Asus maximums G Gene, which will make it a healthy upgrade. Yes, I really hope so because my monitor is weak, but it has been great. I’ve also been using the M9bo, which is the Asus P8P67 Le B3 revision of that model. However, the back I/O only has two 3.0 ports, no front ports except four 2.0 ports, and a 6GB data connector. It’s a high-profile board that has been very useful for my PC needs, and it’s roughly the same price as the refurbished Asus Maximus V Gene, estimated between $200 and $180 USD. Once I sell my old MOVO, I’ll have paid about $85 USD for the ASUS Maximus V Gene, which I think is a really good deal. In my view, you should also consider the value of this upgrade in terms of performance and cost savings. Please give me more feedback, Kara. That was my ex-girlfriend's name by the way—lol fun facts!
