2500k @ 4.4 -1.35 volts-Temps: 54c idle and 93/98 max--OK??

[x26]

Hi all:

2500k @ 4.4 -1.35 volts-Temps: 54c idle and 93/98 max--OK??
Is this safe?
Should I try lowering the CPU power/volts?

Thanks in Advance

ETA: My other 2500k does 4.4 -1.35 volts at 53c idle and 85 max.

I would not consider those max temps good. What hsf are you using?

I'm using the Stock HSF.

Right now:
Idle is: 50-54c

Max temps are when using the Intel BurnTest v2.54

um do NOT oc to 4.4 with stock cooler. they make aftermarket coolers for a reason...

Your question has been answered. Reduce your overclock, or buy a better cooler. Those are your options.

Yeah. To tell the truth, I never bothered even trying the stock cooler with my own SB-K when I built it. With the NH-D14 the idle is near room ambient at stock clocks and volts. I see the average persistent core values these days at between 35 and 40C at my OC settings, and I'd get uncomfortable if I saw them climb to near 50.

I just hope folks aren't still using a fixed VCORE method to clock their Sandy Bridgers. It's totally unnecessary even for find the stable settings as you go through the exploratory OC process.

My 2600K idles around 1.0V, and the voltage drooped value is around 1.34 to 1.36V, with the unloaded turbo voltage as high as 1.38V.

Seems to me that the 2500K only differed for not having HT. I thought they could be pushed easily to 4.5 to 4.6Ghz, but not having one -- what do I know?

Don't be cheap on the cooler if you are ocing your CPU.

Temps are high, should be 35-40C idle and 70-75C full load. You need an aftermarket heatsink, just get that one everyone uses, the 212 Evo or whatever its called.

My i5 2500k OC to 4.6 with Phanteks PH-TC14PE idles around 32c (.96v) and full load hits around 60c (1.37v)

Is 1.35v common for a 2500k @ 4.4GHz?

I have it lowered to 1.22 now--temps are still high though--44c idle/71c gaming.
