Attempting to boost my i5 2500k to 4.6 ghz at 1.32 is being tested. Prime95 is used to verify if the clock stability is maintained. Observations show one core reaching 88°C briefly, then dropping to about 80°C, while the overall CPU temperature never exceeded 77°C. I’m wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned. Should I focus on individual cores or the entire CPU when checking temperatures?

Be careful, buddy. Running an Intel CPU above 75°C all the time isn't recommended—either lower your voltage or reduce performance. Don't stress about potential damage either; it only happens if you keep pushing it over a long period.

Be concerned, friend. An Intel CPU running above 75°C around the clock isn't advisable—either reduce the voltage or lower the speeds. However, don't fret about damage. It would only occur if you kept pushing it overclocked for extended periods.

Consider the whole CPU or each core individually when checking temperatures.

Thank you for the clarification. For temperatures, it's better to consider the full CPU rather than individual cores.
