Max temps I5 750

[Nathlm]

What is the max temps that I should be aiming for on an I5 750?

Oh and how do I measure it?

80C under load with LinX (26000 problem size) or Prime95 Blend.

Realtemp is a good application for temperature monitoring, just run it while you're stress testing.

Thank you very much this helped me alot!

I was scared because my temps were 70c.

What would you recommend the temps stay at so that I can get a good life from my CPU?

And what do you recommend LinX or Prime?

Anything that will stress your CPU to the max constantly does the job. Prime95 is very good because if anything in your system is unstable, it will crash or fail, stop or bluescreen.

To record, use HWMonitor (by CPUID), CoreTemp (I use this as it displays the info on my GamePanel on the keyboard), RealTemp, or if your motherboard CD has it, use that. (For me I have ASUS AI Suite II to monitor and log temperatures on a graph).

Thank you for the reply

If you are trying to figure out the max stable OC from your chip and are still pushing for a higher frequency, I would use LinX set to 26000 problem size for 25 runs. LinX also stresses the CPU more than Prime95 so you get slightly higher temps than Prime on "Large FFTs", which is good for finding the maximum temperature your OC gives off. When you think you've found a stable clock you can run Prime95 on the "blend" setting for 24 hours to verify that its rock solid. However for some people who don't want to stress their CPU for long periods of time, 50 runs of LinX (still 26000 problem size) by itself is sufficient.

For temperatures I personally would say no more than 45C idle and 80C load respectively.
