Hi all
Just o/c my E8600 quite easily withy second try at 9x472 for 4.25 and passed 15 intel burn tests with highest temp 68C is this high and shall i try pushing it further i am on 1.304vc is this high?
Any help appreciated as this my first home build and first o/c.
I am gonna run orthos now what is a minimum time frame to see if stable i heard 24 hours is this right or can is less acceptable?
Cheers

68C after 15 burn tests is impressive...

If you only used 1.304 vcore so far then you have room left... Intel safe zone is up to 1.3625 on wolfies. But with good cooling and speedstep 1.4x is fine. Not like you need it to last 20 years and even if you did, it only needs to be OC'd for a few at most.

Be fine up to 1.4v. Wouldnt wanna go much above 75c on burn test. Normal gaming etc will never get close to burntest.

yeah pretty much, with this you can get an idea of what the chip is likely to overclock to by looking at other people results with the same stepping
