Hey guys I've got a question about my i5 2500k CPU and Prime95. I've had this cpu for 7 months but I've never used prime95 until tonight and was hoping you guys could let me know how things look. I'm not very good with CPU temps and all that jazz Anyway, its an i5 2500k 3.3ghz (3.7 ghz turbo) so it isn't overclocked. I have a cooler master hyper 212+ for a heatsink.
Do things look alright? I googled the vcore and I saw that some people who overclock this CPU to 4.5 are using the same vcore as I am. Is my motherboard default settings giving my CPU chip too much vcore at my default speeds? Would my temps be considered too high? I guess anything under 60c is pretty good but running Prime95 is pushing mid to high 50s. Hopefully you guys don't mind giving me some input on how things are looking. I idle 28-33 if that matters. Thanks guys!
