Is this too hot for an i5 750?

I have the processor on stock configuration and using the stock cooler.

I have a Cooler Master Elite 335 case with:

Front 120mm Casecom fan blowing air in
Back 120mm CM fan blowing air out
Side 80mm Akasa fan blowing air out

Looks like the stock cooler is no good for any overclocking, but for stock usage is it OK?

Yes I'd say that's a tad warm.

A bit too hot imo

For being load, and for being a stock cooler, they're fine.

Woah, 99 celsius? okay, that is hot.

Oh, in that case, they're fine. ( I thought "TJmax" was something that indicated the max temperature one of the cores had reached, kinda like in HWmonitor).

but at 100% load your temps are fine

I have an i5 750. I run mine a bit overclocked. Those temperatures are well within the safe zone especially if they are reached with stress testing.

(btw 99C is not his max temp, l2datatable)

OT:

If I remember correctly the highest temperatures specified by Intel as safe for i5-750 is 75C, but remember that Prime95 creates conditions that no program in real life will actually create. Should be alright, but IMO I'd be a bit bothered that stress testing brings it up that high.

I have an i5-750 too, I usually hover around 62-66C with stock cooling when running the same test. But then again, I undervolted mine a bit.

For a stock cooler this is fine.
You can change the fan settings in your bios if you want to get a lower temp.

my comp freezes the moment i start Prime 95, it just stays there and become unresponsive :(

[1solidsnake2]

I redid the test, is this bad?

No, I didn't underclock it, it did that itself.

Intel SpeedStep lowered your frequency due to inactivity

But the errors in the benchmark is definitely not good.

SpeedStep is disabled. I disabled it just after I built the PC.

I have CPUs where SpeedStep is still active even when it is disabled in the BIOS. Does your clockspeed rises again when you run the test?

It clocked down mostly nearing the end of the test (while the test was still active), kept switching from the stock frequency and the lower frequency. When not running the test it stays at the stock frequency, it was just by chance I got the screenshot when it very quickly underclocked just after I finished the test..

Did Prime95 one more time, computer restarted.
