Im pretty new to overclocking and such. I've looking at overclocking my Q6700 somewhat.
Mainly what temperatures should i be paying most attention to when overclocking my cpu?.
Example using HWmonitor it gives the "CPUTIN" temperature then the 4 Core temperatures.
When looking at idle and load temps, is CPUTIN the reading that most people refer to?
Under prime im getting max temps of 40 CPUTIN and 55,49,44,49 on the 4 cores. with a mild o/c at 3ghz
Are these temps safe? if so what is the upper limit of the CPU temp and the core temps?
Hope im making some sence
Cheers.
