right, had this for a while and its now sitting at 2445mhz, about 47/48 normal use
my mates running a XP2500 normal and its at 55, and goes up to 60 sometimes on a hot day but has no stability issues
now say i wanna overclock this like a mofo, whats the highest temp i can take it to without risking damage?
I sit at around 53->60 on my Barton - still stable, has been for >6 months.
I'd personally stick below 55c full load as a matter of principle.
It really is also very dependant on how hot the room is. I'd say your right there though Layzeh, 55 on load is a good maximum to set yourself - especially with the way some boards report the temp.
I would say that you could go to 60/65...but causing that much heat you must be putting quite a bit extra voltage through it...so that maybe more of a factor that the actually heat.
If you are gonna overclock it more prolly a good idea to think of some other cooling, as i take it you are using air?
yup, aero lite 7 i got
and 3 case fans
currently at 2448mhz i think, and about 53.5c idle, im at 1.875Vcore, i might raise it to 1.925 later on to hit 2500 :)
