I am wanting to play Age of Conan and I need a more powerful CPU so I was just going to try Overclocking.

I have set my PCIE to 100MHz, Ram to to 1:1 ratio. My Mobo is a GA-P35-DS3L. What is a safe temp while running Prime95.

I wouldn't worry too much about over heating, ive never seen my e2180 @ 3.0ghz go over 50C. Although a e2140 would prob require slightly more voltage.

STRKR if you temps don't go over 50C during a prime run then your temperature monitoring is wack. Or you're using some kind of alternate cooling tech.
