E8400 OC to 3.8ghz Temp Question!

[kimchi_73]

Hi, new to O'C'ing my CPU

I have E8400 OC'ed at 3.8ghz and running

25c idle and 40c/41c with 100% process. Is that good temp?

I am using NZXT tempest case with Gigabyte EP45-UD3P and Cooler Master Hyper Z600 active cooling.

Feedback will be great.

Thank you.

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


Tcase = CPU temperature
Tjunction = Core temperatures


The Guide explains Intel's Thermal Specifications, and how to properly test, calibrate and monitor your temperatures.
