This too hot?

[Womble]

I have an e4300 @ 1.8ghz in a sg01 with the NT06lite and corsair 520w above it. Currently idles at about 40 and 55-56 at load. I overclocked to 2.7ghz and it became unstable at load, temps hit 70.

Is this normal? Thinking about replacing/switching the direction of the fan in the psu and/or reappluying the arctic silver + HS but dont know what temps I should be looking at

70 is the cutoff point iirc and then the cpu will throttle (reduce its speed to compensate for the heat generated)

so yea, 70 is too hot, try and keep it below 60-65 load to give headroom and allow for the hot summer months that come
