Hi all, I just updated my system and want to check if my new OC temps are too high. I was using a 5820k at stock speed on an MSI SLI X99A board with an average temp of 38°C. After switching to a cooler and overclocking the chip to 4.0GHz, the temps are now between 40°C and 45°C at idle, and they spike up to 58°C when closing windows. I haven’t heard any unusual noises, and the system feels stable. The Arctic Silver 5 was re-applied a couple of times but didn’t change much. Are the temps still high? Should I be concerned? Any advice would be appreciated!
I completed the "Intel Burn Test" and obtained these temperatures:
Standard = 76c
High = 79c
Very High = 81c
Based on what I've heard, these readings are manageable, so unless I spot anything unusual, I'll stick with what's available. I'm uncertain about further adjustments to bring the temps down.
