HI all
I'm new here but been lurking since last month. I finally finished building my new PC and been doing some overclocking. I managed to overclock my i5 2500K to 4.4Ghz. I've read and based my OC from Gibbo's Voltages and OC guide.
I have one question though, while running Prime95, the "Power" reported by Coretemp seems to spike to more than 100-120 watts. I also notice this when running Intel burn test, but my core temperatures are stable between 55 to 65 degrees celcius. Question is, will the 100-120 watts power damage the CPU as it is rated 95Watts only?
Thank you
