2600K overclock help temps etc

Hi, i have started overclocking my 2600K I have got up to 4.7GHz with no problems.
My vcore is at 1.32
Heatsink is a noctua D14

I have stopped overclocking as my max temp is 72c.

I would like to push it more but I'm unsure on what's the max safe temp for 24/7 use?

Don't want to excede 75c.
Personally I wouldn't be happy with over 70 on a 24/7 oc

Are these temps normal for the noctua D14?

Maybe I should try reseating the cooler.

This seems very hot to me

No Idea about the D14 for me although the SB chips do tend to run relatively cool anyway.
Maybe try reseating it with new (maybe better) TIM.

Is that 72ºc load temperature in Prime or similar or idling under no load temperature?

matt_griff · 7 Feb 2011 at 19:17

That's under 100% load running intelburn or prime for a couple of hours.

That temperature is absolutely fine for that clock/voltage/cooler combination.

The tcase on the cpu is 72ºc (often wrongly reported as the max) but max temp is 98ºc.

What is your CPUPLL at, as if you lower it to 1.75 or 1.70 you might shave off a degree or two from the max temp you get under load.

i have a 2600k @ 4.8 with a D14, and i hit 72 max. so your not far off.

thats with MX4 TIM after 24hours folding.

What vcore are you using?

Ok could someone check my BIOS settings and tell me if you would change anything to lower temps or anything you would change anyway.

Spec is

Asus p8p67 pro
Geil value plus (2x4GB) 1600MHz

Ai overclock tuner - manual
BCLK - 100.0
Turbo ratio - by all cores 47
Internal PLL Voltage - Auto
Memory frequency - 1600MHz
Epu power saving mode - Disabled

Dram timing control - 9-9-9-28-Auto
Load line calibration - auto
Vrm frequency - manual
Vrm fixed frequency - 350
Phase control - standard
Duty control - T.Probe
CPU current capability - 100%

CPU voltage - Manual Mode - 1.325
Dram voltage - 1.600
VCCSA - AUTO
VCCIO - AUTO

PCH - AUTO
SPREAD SPECTRUM - DISABLED

Thanks

Not related to the temp, but you should be able to set your ram manually to 9-9-9-24.

You could try dropping your CPUPLL to 1.65 and your vcore to 1.320 and check for stability, it would be worth at least 1 or 2ºc

Ok but why would you change it from 28 to 24?
The RAM is rated at 9-9-9-28
