I am new to the forum and need some expert advice. This is my first overclock but I am worried about temperatures (too high?).
I tweaked a little bit the rig.
This is the system:
i7 2600K,
P8P67 Pro B3 Rev 3.1
8Gb GSkill RAM DDR3 1600 Mhz CL7
CM 690II Advanced
Noctua NH D14 but removed stock fans (NF P12 and P14) and added instead two Akasa Apache 120mm PWM (reason: want a quiet PC when not loading it).
Win 7 64
Test result (Intel Burn Test v2.5 10 runs standard - Linpack output):
Ambient: 22 C
Stock frequency, idle:
Core temps:
27C-35C
4.5 Ghz 100% full load
VID 1.36-1.38 v
Max
65 C
75 C
76 C
72 C
I have seen similar temperature around but am not still not completely sure and convinced.
Maybe the 140mm middle fan is required instead of the 120mm which I used (replacing the stock NF P14) for the Noctua? Maybe need reapply thermal paste? Or are these temps just fine?
Thanks
M.
