i overclocked to 3.2 on my q6600. Idle is 32 c and 38 c. My voltage is at 1.35. When i do a prime95 test my temps on the 1024 k go to 52 C highest. On the 8 K my temps jump to like 60 c. Is that safe. I want my cpu to last for like 2 years. Whats a safe temp for 2 years.

Yes, 60 is safe. To be honest, you could probably run out to 70, and it would last until 2024 instead of 2025.
