So I downloaded Real Temp 3.0 today for giggles and realized that my E8400 runs REALLY cool. Idle Im at 25-27*C on the stock HSF. Under full load it only seems to top around 51*C. Is this any sort of indication on possible over clocking abilities once my new mobo comes in ?? Also my after market cooler???

Just curious, thanks

p.s. This is stock clocks. My case has great airflow. VGA cooler / Front intake fan / 2 rear exhaust and one top exhaust.

What is your ambient?

Nothing unusual here. Although the E8400 is easily capable of achieving 4.0 Ghz on high-end air, the best indication of overclock ability is VID, which can be seen by clicking on Real Temp's "Settings" button, or by running CPU-Z. Lower values are more desirable, particularly those of less than 1.2.
