Am using a i5 2500k stock with a corsair H80 on mid fan setting.

Thanks
 
That's pretty much the temps I get when idling (25-35 depending on room temp). But I am OC'd to 4.6Ghz, on a vcore of 1.34v and i'm only using a gellid tranquillo..

So maybe you should expect alittle lower than what you're getting.

So I dont want my temps to hit that high? Thats good then think my max is 48C

That correct, that is when the cpu may start to throttle, the other temperature is T Case which looks at the heat spreader temp. This is what Intel shows on their website.

Your temps looks good, I would keep them under 75c ~

When I first installed H80 with its own thermal paste I with I had wrote down the temps. When other motherboard broke I had to re-apply some mx4 witch first time wasn't happy temps, where in 40's. second try am much happy with it just wasn't sure about TJ max.
 
thermal junction max. Anyway the absolute max you should let your CPU run is 85C, by Intel spec the cpu will shut off on it's own at that point, but most motherboards have that disabled if you want to OC. So just be careful eh?
 
It's fine. It does what it says on the tin: "DISTANCE TO Tj MAX". That is, it's the number of degrees left before you reach Tj max. If you notice, all the figures add to 98...
 
the way it works is:

1) Temp

2) TJ Max = 100-temp for example

so if temps are at 60 degrees, tj max will be at 40

there is nothing to worry about - the cpu will get hot as you are stress testing
