Overclocking and temps

lee20010 · 1 Oct 2011 at 16:32

I've just clocked my i5 2500k to 4.0ghz @ 1.035v seems stable, been on prime for past 30mins, considering the temp outside (and my room is baking) what temps should I be looking at on HW Monitor.

Theres a few under each core, but should I focus on package temp?

Use RealTemp or CoreTemp and then you can see the temperatures of each core.

Well I put it up to 4.6ghz, but the vcore is still saying its the same as before :/

obviously this isnt the vcore Im going for. On the bios I've actually tried at 1.38 but it never seems to stick grrr

Strange, what vcore does something like OHW (http://openhardwaremonitor.org/) say? as I doubt 4.6ghz is running full load at a voltage like that. 4.4-4.6 is usually closer to the 1.3v mark.

Vcore said 1.08 but max 1.22 on my new oc. Which is 4.2ghz @ 1.22. Max temp on HW monitor was around 58c.

Is intel like AMD with sensers? So 58 would really be 68 so to speak.
