Have a Core 2 Duo e4300. It's OC'ed to 3.2. The idle temp is only about 30 to 33. And the loaded temp is only about 50-52. I don't understand why I cannot raise the OC beyond 3.2 since the loaded temp is so far below the tdp and Tcase of this cpu. No matter if I use 7, 8 or 9 multiplier, and no matter what voltages I use, I cannot get a stable OC beyond 3.2. The NB is being cooled by a Mini-Kaze too. What is preventing the cpu from going faster than 3.2 GHz if it's still running well below its max temp? I thought people can OC their cpu's until their cpu's reach or almost reach the max temp they can sustain and heat they can dissipate. Is that not true?
