Hey all,
Several weeks ago I built a new system with an i5 2500K CPU and Ive noticed that it often runs at around 3600MHz when doing things such as playing games etc. The strange thing is that I havn't changed anything in the BIOS except XMP and I havnt knowingly overclocked the CPU.
I had XMP enabled in the BIOS under the memory settings for a while as my RAM was running under its specified 1600MHz speed but decided to re-disable it as I didnt know enough about what it did (I was recommended by someone else to enable it) Any ideas on whats going on here?
Also when should I be beginning to get worried about temps? Im currently usng the stock cooler and Ive seen the CPU get as hot as 70'C during games, is this ok?
