I just picked it up and installed it.

I did a quick windows test and it graded my cpu and when it did I saw one core go as high as 65c. I did a search but got so many different answers I thought I would just come here and get your opinion.

Rule of thumb for Intel CPUs is keep them under 70. Are you using stock cooler? Can't remember what my load temps were when I was using the stock cooler (only had it on for a couple of days). What case do you have?

stock heatsinks perform poorly. You should buy a third party one.

If 70 is ok and I got 72 during prime95 then that's not too bad.

72 under Prime seems pretty hot, even for stock cooler. If it was IBT giving you those temps, that would seem reasonable, but seems hot for prime. Is it very warm where you are? That temp is nothing really to worry about, but I would say it's a bit higher than what I would expect.

if its too hot youll know because your pc will shut itself down to save it from dying.

if it doesnt do that and you dont get problems playing games, then its fine.

Those are fine for Prime and IBT, I get similar, its still spring here so I get about 60c, I would just add another 10c during summer.

The chip will throttle itself back at 105c (Tjunction Max) to prevent itself from getting any hotter. I personally feel fine running mine at or below 96c, during stress testing with a 4.6GHz @ 1.250Vcore oc on air cooling and at or below 70c for normal everyday use with this overclock. I really wouldn't worry about your temps.

Yeah under 80 running prime is fine, it will never get that hot in gaming.
