I just want a meagre overclock on my chip. I have my i5 @ 4.3GHZ with a vCore of 1.245v. It's a pretty bad chip.

Its ran succesfully on P95 and OCCT (linpack + CPU) for 30m ea (will test for longer, just don't have time to right now), but then I downloaded the new P95 (w/AVX) and though my temps are stable 60c on 100% load, for short times it spikes to 90c for about 30s and then returns. Should I worry?

On all my other tests my temps don't exceed 65c at full load and 35c at idle (fans at 100). When doing work though I turn off my fans and hit 50c on idle - is that a safe temp?
