Given the reputations of C2D, your temps during oc should be fine eventhough u would be runnin it the whole day....It's so hot here, my Venice runs at 4x Celcius most of the time during the day,nothing bad happens, so ur C2D is more than fine....also please note, as Jack already mentioned, midrange board such as Asrock won't oc high....my cheap board won't oc more than 15C :oops:
