Hello guys this is my 1st time trying to overclock my CPU so i am a little noob about all the staff i should watch and monitor.
I am running prime95 for about 2h now and i am using a Prolimatech megahalems rev.b cooler.

 

My rig consists of:
Mobo: MSI P67A-GD55
CPU: i5 2500k (sandy bridge)
Graphic Card: MSI n560GTX Ti HAwk
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz.
HDD(internal):WD Caviar Blue 1TB 6Gb/s
CPU Cooler: Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B
PSU:Corsair TX 750 V2

 


I am trying a 4.5 Ghz overclock with Vcore at 1280v and my max temps in Real Temp 3.67 till now are 61-59-66-63.

 

Are these good / normal / bad ???

With blend run prime95 small fft for 12hrs, blend for 12 hrs, and then you will have a stable system.

You can prime test into the low 70's safely IMO. That means for everything else under the sun, you will run around 60c or less. Your cpu will last 7 years that way.
