Yes, it is. I wouldn't worry.

Hello ukste,

Are you able to post your processor model?

 

[ukste]

Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570K (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache

oops sorry no idea why i missed that bit

 

[Maestro]

Those temps look good to me. It would be better to run prime95 to see what your 'under load' temps are however. This would give a better indication if anything was amiss.

 

[ukste]

is prime95 free ?

 

[keynes]

is prime95 free ?

Yep.

[ukste]

[keynes]

Choose blend then ok, record/monitor your temps.

You can run it for 5 minutes, 1 hour, 24 hours
how are you monitoring your temperatures? Just check the temps on the CPU , I'd just run it for 5-10 minutes and record the highest temps.

 

[keynes]

Just remember that prime95 is for stress testing, gaming or other application would not push your cpu that much.

 

[ukste]

ran it for 5 mins

 

[ukste]

And this idle

 

[keynes]

And this idle

It looks fine, I'd have expected higher temperatures running prime95.

 

[tom_gr7]

did you take that screen shot during the test or after?

ideally, you want to look at the temps, to see how high they go.

 

[ukste]

i took it while it was still running

 

[ukste]

can it harm my pc leaving it to see how high the temps will go ?

 

[keynes]

can it harm my pc leaving it to see how high the temps will go ?

It shouldn't, looking at the information you are displaying it shows only 100% in 1 core. When I run the test all my cores are 100% and temperatures are close to each other.

Theres a program on passmark.com called burntest 7 would this be a good program to try ?
