My [email protected] safe at 68c in Othos ?

That's is helluva hot! I would've thought it would be throttling already at that temperature so I reckon orthos is bs'ing you.
 
Could be a dodgy motherboard sensor? I know old athlon boards were dire for this, you basically couldn't trust anything apart from a probe.

The only thing I can think of is if you've got it on silly volts or it's concave.

It's at stock volts, the cpu fan is this http://www.silentpcreview.com/article636-page1.html (Scythe Mine), I've just ran RightMark CPU Clock Utility and neither core seems to be throttling, it's 28.2c (82.8f) in my room so perhaps that's contributing a bit, Think I may wack this one on MM and get am E6320.
 
That temp is fine, especially as it's a load temp.

85c on the E6300 is the temp you have to worry about.

Ok, so you may not have the coolest running C2D on here, but so what? It's well within it's tolerance.
 
That's fine. It won't start to throttle until you hit 75-80C and it will shut down to protect itself at about 85C.

and thankyou,

feel a bit more relaxed now, cheers.
 
when you say stock volts do you mean you set it to 1.35 volts or what ever stock is. or is on auto?

as i was messing around the other day and left mine on auto volts and it bumped the volts upto 1.55 volts when it was only running at 2.8ghz and i saw some massive temp rises untill i changed it back down.
 
This happened to me the other day.

All I needed to do was reseat the heat sink in another direction (i.e. so that air is going towards the biggest fan in my case (antec 900))

And re-apply thermal paste.

As soon as I did that, my load temps dropped from 70 down to 55 :)

and this is on a 6600 at 3.4
