|  My overclock part 2 just wanting to know some safe temperatures for my cpu. its a q6600 g0 idle is about 40 degrees C gaming its about 45-50 degrees C and under extreme stress (prime95) its 59-60 degrees C i am still using the stock cooler so i know there a little high but are they safe i plan to buy an aftermarket cooler asap i just want to know if its safe for now

  | Re: My overclock part 2 60 is also to the point where i might start getting worried, 40C idle seems about normal for a quad.

| Re: My overclock part 2 60 is just fine. The thermal rating on the g0 stepping is higher than B3. Spec'd at 71c

| Re: My overclock part 2 Ya, even with my TRUE i push 60C on my g0 q6600, but thats at 3.6ghz. So yes, you are fine for now, but if you plan to go farther you'll need better cooling.

| Re: My overclock part 2 with the intel thermal rating I'd be perfectly comfortable running a G0 quad at 70c 24/7

| Re: My overclock part 2 Why not? When intel states you can run them at 71c no problem?

| Re: My overclock part 2 I guarantee that it wont be as stable as one at 40C And I guarantee that if its at 70C you won't be able to overclock it as far.

| Re: My overclock part 2 At 72C it starts to throttle itself. Also if you are running at 70C 24/7 the lifespan of the cpu is going to go right down the toilet, not to mention its gonna get nice and warm in that room.

| Re: My overclock part 2 ehh? not true at all. Tcase rating is not even close to when it begins to throttle. BTW I have had all my processors running 24/7 folding...both cores 100%.
