I decided to up my OC a bit and am P95 burning. My temps are a bit high but okay for my proc but I decided to check w/ a friend to make sure and the by-product of that was a screenshot that is postable here.

If you're bored, download Prime95 and run a burn for a little while, check your temps with HWMonitor or another program and post a screenie here.

Those are some high temps, but atleast on modern Intel hardware it should be impossible to kill a CPU with tempature alone because it will simply throttle itself down. Too much voltage is what will cause permenant damage.

I'm at work so I cant take a SS now, but my temporary rig is a Q6600 @ 2.7 ghz on the stock cooler- it runs at 69C at full load.

I took it off Auto and pushed it up to 3.8 and now the temps are ~5C lower el oh el

I'm pretty sure this thread is about showing off Pommy's rig

Everyone keeps saying that but it really isn't

I just made this thread cuz I've been looking through like a bajillion threads on other forums on this exact topic when researching good OC configs

59c per core and climbing.

60c.

61c.

63c.

64c.

Bedtime.

I have a stock E8400 Wolfdale that gets to 58 C using P95. I'm going to overclock it eventually. Also, RealTemp might give you more accurate numbers as opposed to HWMonitor.

Well, he is Chinese.

That's weird. You would think a thermostat would read the same temperature no matter what software you used.

Whoops I meant to post a new thread but replied to this one instead please ignore

What a shameless bump

omg nooo if I could have deleted it I would have
