I have a G0 and a tru 120 extreme and a noctua 1200 rpm fan. 400fsb x 9 - 3.6GHz, It is 8Hrs prime 95 stable at 1.41V and the temps are 70 degrees (coretemp 0.95).

The noctua fan although silent ..doesnt push any air through the heatsink at least you cant feel a 'breeze'.

At what point do high temps increase crashing / significantly reduce lifetimeof cpu....

a) Should I be trying to bring the temps down with lapping?
b) should i strap a second noctua fan on in push pull config?.

If high temps (70) arent a problem then id rather leave it.
I notice in the q6600 thread that others with this cpu/cooler on higher voltages have temps 10 degress lower.

thanks
