Hey all, I have a E8400 running at 3.6ghz FSB 400.91x9 voltage at 1.26. I was trying to determine if my temperatures are fine after some OC, so I ran EVEREST Benchmark on my CPU, and it'll go from 48C idle to around 85 to 87 Full load, I read 74C max is the safe temperature for this core, is 85 - 87 really safe for this chip? what should I do =\

You have to give more info. Those temps are way too high. My 8500 clocked at
4.3 ghz and 1.3625 voltage idles at 35. Do you have a stock cooler? If so get rid of it and buy a good aftermarket.
