I overclocked my e6600 to 3.6 on air, using this guide..

Been running fine so far, but temperatures worry me, check out the overclock and tell me if its ok?

After playing Crysis for 10mins...

"Torture Test ran 3 minutes 40 seconds"
Orthos failed, gets to 71c, time to underclock?

How about my overclock, are the ram timings ok etc?

Reduced from 1600FSB to 1500.
Orthos didn't halt this time (see below), but reached 78c, should I underclock more?

What do the priority do on Orthos? I've been running it at 1.

Reduced vcore from 1.4/Auto gradually to 1.325, failed straight away in Orthos.
So put it from 1.325 to 1.35, ran for 10 mins at 68c, ~10c lower than before.

Update: Orthos just stopped at 15mins, but temperatures were the same, is this good enough?

hehe, Its coldest day in awhile too, going to underclock to 3ghz and get better cooling.

Seems stable at 3ghz. I'm happy with that, also some extra cooling could get twice as good overclock. Results below, thanks for help guys.
