Hey everyone, just a quick question.

First time overclocking so if this is a bit noobish please bear with me. ;)
Currently running an i5-2500K at 4.3 at 1.335v with only the stock CPU fan. At 100% load in Intel BurnTest on Maximum I hit 79 C. Is this too high for 24/7? I plan on getting a Hyper 212+ soonish, just wondering if i should turn it down in the meantime.

Thanks,
Rat
 
Don't have much experience with Sandy Bridge, but that voltage seems a bit high for 4.3GHz. If someone can correct me please do. I'd also dial back your OC until you get another cooler. While 79C load is still within operating parameters, I wouldn't be comfortable with it as anything beyond 55C or so makes me unhappy. :p
 
That's in the CPU temparature threshold,but i'd try to lower that temp as soon as possible for 24/7 use.
