My current rig setup includes:
i7-6700k Intel Processor
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler
ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard
2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-2400 RAM
ASUS Strix GTX 970 Video Card
EVGA Supernova Bronze 750W Semi-Modular Power Supply
500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD

I recently assembled this system and am uncertain about the cooling performance for my CPU. I overclocked the 6700k to 4.4GHz with VCore at 1.3V and adaptive settings enabled. Under idle conditions, it maintains 22°C even with an ambient temperature of 20°C. All benchmarks passed using Aida64, ASUS ROG, and Intel XTU, but during stress tests the temperature reached 75°C. I’m unsure if this is typical or if I’m overheating. While chip performance can vary, many users with similar configurations report better stability at lower voltages or peak temperatures around mid-60s. I’m questioning whether a faulty chip, improper cooler placement, or normal thermal behavior is the cause.

I’m unsure if this is within acceptable limits or if I’m pushing the system too hard.

If it runs smoothly at lower voltages, that would be great. However, I think the temperature during full load is quite typical. Below 80°C should work just fine. You also have a strong overclock with air cooling.

I’m questioning whether I have a faulty chip, if I installed the CPU cooler correctly, or if this is just normal behavior.

My 6700K running at 4.5GHz during stress tests stays around the mid-60s, and I also idle at about 22°C.

As mentioned before, it is completely normal for a budget cooler.
