Hello,
please can someone tell me if these are safe temperatures?
I over-clocked my cpu from 3.5GHz to 3.8GHz running on the stock cooler, and I ran a stress test on AIDA64 Extreme. My PC didn't crash once and i ran the stress test for 10 minutes without stopping or pausing and the temperature was at 68-70 on the CPU and the Motherboard was at 32.
here are 2 screen shots

Im afraid to keep this overclock because I don't want to ruin my CPU and motherboard but I also want to play Planetside 2 without lag since if I run at default clock i get like 25 FPS but when I OC to 3.8GHz I get around 65-70 fps.

Assuming those temps are accurate, they don't seems dangerous. The CPU might throttle if it goes over 70 to stop itself from overheating.

That much of a performance difference from a less than 10% overclock does seem a little suspicious though. A roughly 200% increase in performance from that is just ridiculous. There has to be something else going on to allow such a huge performance increase.

this is the overclock without me even touching the cpu/nb voltage.
