Hi guys just need an educated answer on this as i'm still relatively new to overclocking. I have a e6600 running the stock hsf, it is rock solid at stock vcore at 3.06ghz/340fsb. Temps in both the latest versions of speedfan and core temp are 28 idle and 53 degrees at full load stress testing. Speedfan's reported cpu temp is 47. (Vcore 1.325)
Today i tried to reach 3.3ghz, and did so successfully with a vcore of 1.4125. Stress tested for 2 hours with no failure's. My temps in speedfan and core temp are now 32 degrees idle, 60 degrees full load. Speedfan says the cpu temp is 57 degrees. Is this ok or too high? I have read the core 2 duo temp guide but wanted to be sure before leaving my clock speed and vcore this high. As i mostly use my rig for gaming the processor is rarely at full load for any extended period. I am also unsure if i need to offset my temps in speedfan or not? Help and advice greatly appreciated.
