Is this OC okay?
Is this OC okay?
Computer Specifications:
- MB: Asus z170 AR
- Ram: corsair 16gb 3000mhz
- CPU: i7 6700k
- Heatsink: Cooler master hyper 212x
I have recently increased the clock speed to 4.5ghz with a core voltage of 1.34 (it drops slightly to 1.3). After stress testing with AIDA64 for more than an hour, everything remains stable.
Core temperatures:
- idle (no stress test): 35 deg
- Max temps: 90 deg
- Average: 80 deg
I noticed that even with default settings during the test, my temperatures stayed consistent.
These readings seem typical for my configuration or should I investigate further?
Hi..
It seems there might be an issue with the cooler setup. Try reinstalling the HSF and applying the thermal paste using the "X" pattern could help. The CM Hyper 212x is a highly rated cooler, so it should perform adequately.
Hi Sir
The current settings seem suitable for the temperature range you mentioned.
80C Hot (100% Load), 75C Warm, 70C Warm (Heavy Load), 60C Norm, 50C Norm (Medium Load), 40C Norm, 30C Cool (Idle).
If the maximum temperature reaches 90 degrees with this cooling system, I don’t think it’s too bad—this OC should be fine.
However, 90°C might be a bit high for the CPU and could cause crashes during heavy tasks. It would be wise to check your cooling system first and see if anything unusual happens.
Best regards,
