Forum Overclocking : CPUs Cooling problem!!!

Word :    Username :           
 

i just installed a nh-d14 cooler and i am getting about 65*c max at 4.5 ghz @ 1.328v max with prime 95 with small fft's.

are those normal temps for an i7 2600k?

also id like to run a fixed voltage as i can run a lower voltage doing it that way then by offsetting but id rather have the cpu throttle down to 1.6ghz and a lower voltage while idling... can that be achieved with a fixed voltage.

well my overclock is exactly the same as yours and i have a h60 and get 72-75 with prime but you have a better cooler so you should have better temps. They seem right to me but don't take my word for it.
