I just bumped up my e6750 on my DS3L (with OCZ PC6400 Plat Rev 2 ram)from 3.5ghz 8x438 @ 1.375V to 3.6ghz 8x450 @ 1.3875 and so far have Orthos running for over 2 hours and still going strong. My load temps are peak 68C and Idles around 37C. My CPU cooler is a Coolermaster Hyper TX2. At what point should I worry about temps and voltage on my cpu so it lasts for 2-3 years. I have heard over 5% peak V on cpu is acceptable and I am still well within the limits but my temps are nearing Intel's recommended limit on their website of 72C. Any Input would help. Thanks.

Edit: Real Temp is telling my my core temp is 63C and CoreTemp is telling me 68C...can't calibrate cuz I'm stress testing but added it in.

According to Intel's Processor Spec Finder http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA9V the maximum Vcore is 1.5. Also, the 72c temperature you noted is Tcase Max (CPU) and NOT Tjunction (Core). From the Core 2 Quad and Duo Temperature Guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/221745-29-core-quad-temperature-guide

Section 6: Scale

... as Tcase Max will be exceeded before Tjunction Max is reached, Tcase Max is always the limiting thermal specification.

Scale 1: Duo
E7200: Tcase Max 74c, Stepping G0
E4700: Tcase Max 73c, Stepping G0
E4x00: Tcase Max 73c, Stepping M0
E2xx0: Tcase Max 73c, Stepping M0
E8x00: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping C0
E8x90: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping C0
E6x50: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping G0
E6540: Tcase Max 72c, Stepping G0

-Tcase/Tjunction-
--70--/--75--75-- Hot
--65--/--70--70-- Warm
--60--/--65--65-- Safe
--25--/--30--30-- Cool


You can either stay with Real Temp, or you can follow the Temp Guide and use SpeedFan 4.34 to more closely calibrate your CPU temperature AND Core temperatures.
