Safe temps, E6300

RaiderX · 15 Apr 2007 at 02:01

i have finally got my E6300 setup completed and have decided to try a bit of overclocking, but not too much as i am using stock HSF. what temps are safe for the CPU? i am currently running it at 2.6GHz, idle temp around 44c, load around 58-59c, i am using Core Temp to monitor temps and orthos for maximum load

I personally wouldn't go over 60oC in tat possiibly 65

im going to try 2.8GHz so memory is at stock speeds, still at stock volts so shouldnt increase temps much

Yeh go for fsb 400 memory 800mhz cpu 1.3v should all be fine as 7x multi i can run it supper fine at 1.28 so try that

got it stable at 2.97GHz, been playing CSS for a bit with it and no crashing yet and orthos didnt fail after 10 mins use. whats recomended time for runing orthos to check for perfect stability, also what would be a good cooler to fit a DS3 to get 3.2-3.4GHz?

8 hours + on orthos priority 8-9 small ffts

but i only run for 2 hrs as that is stable enough for me

cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro if your on a budget, or Tuniq Tower 120
also the Coolermaster GeminII Heatsink looks interesting

The exact measurements are shown on the tuniq website but I think its around 15.5cm.
