Ok, on stock clocks idling im getting 36° per core, is this ok?

When i start overclocking, whats the max temp i should be looking at under stress?

Thankyou

Also the fan is quite noisy, any way to make it quieter? thx

make it quieter by attaching the fanmate that came with the cooler...

Intel says 80c is its limit for safe usage, most people on ocuk would say dont go over 60c, others say 70c

idleing at 36c is ok, but i would have thought it may be a little lower.. in a hot room at all?

the room is pretty damn cool, my feet are cold...

core temp says 37° atm... nvidia monitor says 25° and speed fan says 30°

Pretty confusing tbh

cooler is on full wack, still 37-40° idle according to core temp..

i think i believe speed fan more?

I'd use TAT to measure your temps...30's is absolutely fine at idle, personally I try to keep my load temps under 60. You'll notice the temps increase dramatically once you pile on the vcore btw. Also what's the temp difference with the fan turned down?
