Opinions on my current i7 860 OCing

[Fiztandantibus]

Hello everyone,

I built my rig a few weeks back with the following components:

Mobo: Asus P7P55D-E Pro
CPU: Intel Core i7 860
RAM: 2x2GB G-Skill DDR3 RipJaw @ CL7 and 1.6V

I have used the overclocking utility and then with some guides proceeded to doing some manual OCing and got to the following result and settings:



Now at these settings the CPU has been perfectly stable and has been stress tested and doesnt go above 55C when under load and stays at about 35-40C idle. Still I would like to check that I am not setting the ratio multiplier too high or pushing it too much to the point where I am either dramatically reducing its lifespan or bottlenecking it by pushing too far.

Any advice and opinions on whether or not I have overclocked it correctly and hence successfully (which would make me rather proud of my first ever cpu OC) or whether I should change some settings back a bit would be very welcome

Thanks for your time and help

Edo

Well, those load temps look great, if the core/CPU max temps are the same for both Core i7 900s and 800s, especially if you're using LinX or Prime 95.
