What's Your 24/7 Overclock?

Last response: in Overclocking

Just wondering what your all day, every day overclock is that you find safe and won't completely cut down your CPU's lifespan.

I'm running my Core i7 940 @ 3.8 Ghz and core voltage at 1.27 with temps idling around 35-40 degrees depending on the room temp. Just curious if just because the temp is nice and low if I can run this all the time.

mine is 4Ghz with my Core i7 920 @ 1.28V 24/7 Max temp 56C

Benching at 4.4Ghz @ 1.454V max temp: unknown

Max overclock @ 4.6Ghz 1.55V+ (not 100% stable) max temp: hotter than the sun.

You max daily OC depends on your CPU, your mobo(bios settings) and cooling system so no two are the same.

My Max is 4.2Ghz for benching(will boot at 4.4Ghz but eventually crashes), 3.8Ghz during the winter months(the office is cold) and 3.6Ghz during the summer months(the office gets real hot).

I don't trust any of the temperatures people post because often the temp is dependent on what software was used to do the monitoring and can be off as much as 5 - 10C. Frankly some of the readings are pretty unbelievable.
