I was playing around with my ASRock Extreme4 Gen3/i5 2500k today and got these results with minimal tests done (will leave it cooking this evening). It seems stabile, also tried some Bad Company 2 with no problems but the temperatures are a bit high... Cooling the CPU with Venomous X (140mm+120mm fans) but temps go over 80C. I did buy the fans to be the most silent ones so they spin around 990 rpm. should i be worried about these? i don't like the idea of a boiled i5
You are stressing the system a LOT there.. using almost 7GB of RAM. I wouldn't worry about those temps too much in real world heavy duty tasks its unlikely the CPU will get much beyond about 65c. I use IBT w\AVX when testing and set 7GB+ of RAM to be used, my CPU hits around 94c and thats even with a well ventilated case and with the CPU cooler reseated various times to ensure it was indeed seated correctly. You must remember torture tests like IBT are meant to stress the CPU to a quite unrealistic amount so you can be fairly certain your OC is stable.
