Hey guys,

Attempting my first overclock at the moment. I'm using Speedfan to monitor temperatures under load on my CPU. My question is, which temperatures do I actually need to look at?
There are the following temperatures:
Temp1
Temp2
Temp3
Temp
Core 0
Core 1
Core 2
Core 3

The 'temp' reading are always low (~20C idle, ~40 under load) however the 'Core' reading are much higher (30-40C idle, 60-70C under load). If it's the core readings that I need to be concerned about then I think I need to reapply the AS5 and reseat the heatsink (Noctua NH-U12P). Thanks for any input guys,

Jim
 
The Core temps are the important ones.

Whether 60-70c under load is ok rather depends on what you are overclocking and what your current overclock is.
