How do my temps look?

Too hot may be?

BTW, almost 12 years here on [H] - OMFG

those aren't dangerously high, you wont cook it like that. What are you cooling it with?

Coolermaster Hyper 212.

Well that is at 100% load, what do they max out during normal usage and gaming? Unless you are doing distributed computing or using your box for rendering 100% temps are kind of useless.

I would invest in something like a H100 or a bigger heatsink, it would keep the temps in a better ballpark. It's all personal preference really what you're comfortable with temp wise. For me personally i like to keep CPU's under 70c.

Do you have a push-pull configuration with the 212?

No just one fan, Forgot whether it was pulling or pushing.

Do you have a push-pull configuration with the 212?

i have two hyper 212+ coolers one with two stock cm fans and one with 2X gelid silent 12 pwm fans

and in both cases push pull winds up with about a 1 or 2C improvements on temps.

I wouldn't want my i5-2500K that hot...

 

[LordBritish]

I'm actually afraid to run the LinX Intel app, it might kill my CPU

Those temps you see are with Prime95.

Im no expert, but you wont see thoses temps in real world applications unless FoH. Its mostly a personal temp thingy, like i like to see prime95 around or below 85c but real world would prob be like 68c YMMV. Its always a good idea to have a bettter cooler that fits your budgets and preferences otherwise everyone go water cooling lmao.
