Intel i5 2500k OC

    I have overclocked my Intel i5 2500k to 4.4Ghz. I was wondering if the temps are too high. I ran Intel burn test 10 times and the max temp was 76C. I'm assuming this isn't too high but just wanted a second opinion.

    Well the tcase is 72.6°C so you are above the temp that intel recommend for long term use.
    What cooler are you using?

    I am using the Thermalright HR-02 macho. I though it wasn't too high simply because it's Intel burn test :D

    Yeah actually it's probably fine. You are unlikely to reach that temp much during normal use.

    What Voltage are you running on that Overclock, out of interest.
