Q9550 overclocking temps

[exotic444]

Overclocked my CPU to a nice 3.4Ghz and im worried about the temps, I know i could push the CPU up higher but just wanted you guys to take a look at the temps to tell me when i should stop. ( I want my CPU to last a few years)

my cooler is a: Xigmatek HDT-S1283

Room Temp: 31c

Idle:
Core 1: 45c
Core 2: 38c
Core 3: 44c
Core 4: 39c

Load:
Core 1: 61c
Core 2: 54c
Core 3: 60c
Core 4: 56c

hmm

3.5Ghz will be your max safe Overclock temps wise

any thing over that and tha cpu will go over 70c on load.
