Please verify these temperatures for me?
Hello,
I’ve been checking my i5 6600k lately because I saw temperatures reaching up to 97°C when using the Nepton 240m cooler. The first test showed the CPU hitting around 97GHz under heavy load at 4.6GHz. Since my room was very hot that day, I ran another test and got a max of about 78 degrees. I’m curious how others manage to achieve 75 degrees under load with air coolers while my Nepton stays high.
Thanks, Rob
Would it be worth upgrading to a Kraken X61 and switching to air cooling?
It appears you're working with a version later than 26.6v of P95, which isn't advised. Please download version 26.6 and retest. Any newer versions use AVX, leading to workloads near 110% and excessive temperatures. Stick to testing with 26.6 using the Small FTT test. For more details, refer to Section 13.
