how do 
i am seeing what my cpu can do, and it can do 3.6 gig but the downside is to do this it requires 1.675v
and load temp is about 77C
now, i know this is hotter than most people would tolerate, but it is stable (2 hrs orthos so far) and it seems ok...
but my question is, is this just too hot to expect the cpu to stay alive long? i'm thinking along the lines of the fact that only orthos and other intense stress tests will achieve this temperature whereas in games and other stuff it will likely stay comfotably under 65C (which is where i've always put a safety line in my head)...
so, am i being stupid and should i go back to 3.4gig @ 1.525V or shall i push on with the stress test with 3.6gig @ 1.675v?
it was more an exercise in what the chip can do but if its safe i might leave it...
advise me quick before my cpu goes nuclear!!!
