Hey people, first of all i'm new here and i'm a happy owner of a Intel i5 750 on a Asus p7p55d LE, 4gb Kingston DDR3 1600mhz comp.
I am pretty new to overclocking, but got quite some knowledge of hardware in general, so i'm not a newb.. Now to the point:
I oc'd my i5 750 to 4ghz yesterday, and ran Orthos stress-test.. Temps went up to between 75 and 80 degrees on full load, idle is about ~45 degrees. I am using a Coolermaster Hyper TX3 CPU fan. I will buy a Corsair h50 somewhere next week, which would push my temps down by quite a bit..
The thing i am wondering about, am i fine/save with temps of about ~45c Idle and ~75/80c Full load, or should i clock a little less.. to 3,8gz perhaps.. so my temps would lower a little?
This question might have been asked a couple times before, but i am kind of new to this bussiness, and i thought this would be the place to be to put my question
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Rck
