Comfortable temps??

[bluebird14]

Ive been upping the vcore to see what kind of temps i get and i was wondering where do i stop? And as ive never blown a chip before (tch wood) i dont know what im comfortable with.

So ide like to know what everyones opinions is on the max temp there comfortable with?

70'C under load for a C2Q is my comfortable and personal limit.
I know that these chips can handle much higher temps, but I like to balance performance with longevity.

My E6300 is at 420 fsb, stock volts. Temps are approx 38c idle and 58c under load. This is using a Freezer 7 Pro.

I'm guessing you're wanting to puch the chip further, and i'd go with what dr. sarf said and keep it sub 70c.
