E6600 Temps?

[gators81]

I am running an E6600 with a scythe ninja plus. I have the asus p52dh deluxe motherboard, and an antec p180b case.


I have it overclocked at 3.4 ghz right now (378 fsb) and it seems to be pretty stable. I'm using the 1.4125 vcore setting, and besides changing my ram timings to 4/4/4/12 and matching it's speed to my fsb the rest of the bios settings are unchanged.


My idle temps are 44c using core temp (I got rid of the asus programs, they were being a pain in the butt). When I run dual torture tests in prime 95 (speedfan shows 100% usage on both cpus) it gets up to about 56c after awhile and sits around there. Room temp is about 76F always.

Do these temperatures sound alright? I am pretty happy with the overclock speed wise, but I want this computer to be stable for 24/7 usage for at least a few years.


Thanks

i oc'd my 6800 to 3.47Ghz and depending on how hot it gets in my office, the idle temps are: 34C to 41C,
and at 100 percent load the two cores go up to 59C to 63C depending on the temp of my room.

Today it is bad, since it is really warm outside, yesterday it was cold outside so the wind blowing into my office from the window kept the cores at 34C and 59C idle/load.

My Rule is to keep the temps below 65C at all cost. lol
My goal is to get the temps down to 57C at full load.
