I7-3820 Temps/ Temps with OC

 

 My 3820 ATM is at high 20s to mid 30 deg when idle, 40s while gaming, i've never been over 50 deg while gaming or rendering so MAX it's like 48-49 all on a H100 with Push pull.

I've been holding off on OC because i wasn't sure if these temps were decent for OC and what temps to expect after OC, if anyone else here has this CPU and have experience OCing i would appreciate some info on temps to expect etc.

Also how high can i stress a CPU like this with temps? is 60 deg ish ok with constant gaming etc?

60 is okay, 70 is the zone where you need to watchful, 80 is the danger zone

I have the same CPU and my idle temps are 25ish and load is 65 on a 4.4 overclock @ 1.27 volts. I would aim at no higher than 70. Although with my chip it wont overclock over 4.5 stable no matter the volts i push though it.

Good luck
