Running Prime95 / CPU temperatures

Currently running Prime 95, going to keep running over night (~10 hours)

Intel i5-2550K @3.3Ghz overclocked to @4.2 Ghz

What temperatures do you get when OC'ing and Prime95'ing?

can't even overclock

I'm not going to try to OC. My PC won't handle that.

First time OC'ing myself.

Hasnt gone over 85C in like 30-40 min, so I should be fine, plus I have overheating protection.. I hope it passes the test, if it runs to tomorrow morning without any errors or so I'm able to OC to 4.2 Ghz!

Do you guys think 85C is too dangerous to let it go overnight without me being awake to monitor the PC? Should I do it over the day, or am I fine doing it over nigt?

I can OC, but the heat generated is huge.

Dont even have Prime95 anymore, but I have never seen my temps get over 50C, and that was about the max load I could drop on it without doing a torture test through prime. cbf to try it again, but I doubt my temps would ever see over 65C.

Why would you even overclock your CPU

My normal temperature is 46C
Can't OC tought..

Can't compare temps, god damn America and its shitty measurement system.

Tempcore automatically shows Celcius.

One of Noctua, a heatsync fan. But I'll probably be getting a H10 or something watercooling

i5 comes with thermal paste, pretty sure the upgraded version i7 comes with built in cooling.
