Skylake 6700K OC paired with Noctua D15 model shows elevated temperature issues.
Hello, welcome to the forum! This is my first attempt at overclocking.
I'm using a Gigabyte Z170 MTB with a Core i7 6700K (Skylake) cooled by Noctua NH-D15 (2 x fans). My Fractal Design R5 case has two fans spinning at 920RPM, and the Noctua runs at 1500RPM during the benchmark.
Overclocking settings: I used a 46 multiplier, 102MHz BClock, and 1.3V CoreVoltage, which achieved 4.692GHz.
Based on what I've read about Skylake CPUs, these results seem quite normal, and I prefer to keep them stable.
I'm worried about the peak temperatures during stability tests.
Here are some links for reference:

When I run AIDA64 (a less aggressive benchmark) for about 10 minutes, the temperatures spike up to 84°C.
My idle core temps are around 18°C in a room temperature of 25°C.
The TJMAx readings also look high; I'm not sure what the TjMax numbers mean.
Should I be worried about these temperatures on a Skylake CPU?
I don't want to rush into buying another CPU soon.
Thanks a lot!
Happy OC-ing

Yes, particularly when it's disorganized, that might suggest excessive. It should simply be a smooth, thin, uniform layer—it requires minimal effort.
