Is 61 Celsius too hot for a 3.9 GHz overclock on an i5 760

[dogaman]

I have situate my i5 760 to 3.9 GHz and my 4 GB Kingston RAM to 9-9-9-27-1 at 1600 MHz. Motherboard is a P7P55D-E LX. DRAM Voltage is: 1.75v, VCORE: 1.39. Have I done something terribly incorrect? And I know the DRAM voltage is quite high Temperatures are well, 63 degrees Celsius below full load in OverClock Checking Tool only 10 minutes test though and around 40 degrees inactive. While I stress test utilizing OverClock Checking Tool, I observe that the Vcore drops from 1.36v to 1.30v while below load. I guess this is standard, right? I have one more query that might be more simply answered: is 61 degrees Celsius too warm for a 3.9 GHz overclock on an i5 760?

The majority of users will recommend staying below 75C. From what I have listened to, it can go higher than but it is not recommended as it blaze components around on the motherboard. Maximum is 100 C. I personally prefer keeping it below 70 C as hotter is your components, inferior their life will be! So my opinion is always staying on 75 C.

Maximum Tcase for the i5 760 is 62.6 C as specified by Intel. Like as you suggested, I in general advise no superior than 70-75 C T-junction or core temps, considering T-junction temps are usually between 5 and 10 C upper than Tcase. And if the DRAM voltage is at 1.80V, you will require to up the IMC voltage to 1.30V from the default of 1.113V, this in order to maintain no additional than a .6V voltage differential between the memory controller voltage and the DRAM voltage. For myself I would attempt lowering the DRAM voltage to 1.75V at 9-9-9-27 and DDR3 1600, and alter the command rate from 1T to 2T, after that run Memtest86+ to ensure for constancy.

My IMC is at 1.42V. The BIOS itself situate it like that. I know the majority of these queries I am asking can responded by finding at the net, but frankly, I really don't know what half of it means. Any exacting cause why I should alter timings or command rate? I have sprint memtest86 with these setting and it reported no error. Is it because I might damage a number of hardware? And once more, apologetic for my lack of knowledge, I have tried my best to be aware of all of this, but the majority of this matter goes way over my head.

I have some easy information’s about i5 overclocking which you can refer. Dual core i5 CPUs are the same to the i3 CPUs, but as well comprise Intel Turbo Boost Technology. Every i5 CPUs work just in LGA1156 based motherboards. Quad core i5 CPUs are the similar to the short end i7 CPUs, the just exceptions being their need of Intel Hyper Threading Technology for Directed Input Output. All i5 CPUs effort just in LGA1156 based motherboards.
