Hello, this is my initial attempt at assembling a computer and overclocking it. Before proceeding further, I just want to verify that everything is in order. I used Prime95 blend for roughly 10 to 15 minutes, and the peak temperature I achieved was 52°C (not the maximum). Without stress testing, the safe limit would be 32°C. (Again, not the maximum.) Is this acceptable? My CPU is an Intel i7 6700K at 4.00GHz.
Thanks,
Caleb.

Hello, this is my initial attempt at assembling a computer and overclocking it.
I've downloaded Prime95 and CoreTemp, but before proceeding, I just want to verify everything is correct. I ran Prime95 blend for roughly 10-15 minutes, and the highest temperature reached was 52°C (not the maximum). Without stress testing, the peak would be 32°C (still not the max). Is this acceptable? My CPU is an Intel i7 6700K at 4.00GHz.
Thanks,
Caleb.

These temperatures are acceptable. However, I'm uncertain if the most recent P95 release was updated to prevent overheating similar to what occurred with Haswell. It's best to stick with version 26.6 for safety.
