Core 2 Duo temps question

[Raikiri]

The bacon is on.

Are you just blowing on a bare CPU hoping to keep it cool?

Although, saying that if it doesn't throttle then it doesn't really matter. I'm just happy my cooling should be able to handle a graphics card in the loop too.

Just ramped my E4300 up to 3226 MHz and running Orthos. It's at 67 degrees. Nothing you'll do, even gaming, will stress the CPU like Orthos will.
