What is considered to be the highest safe CPU temperature when overclocking?
I have a Core 2 Duo E6400 overclocked to 2.85GHz with 1.2vCore. This runs at 29C idle and 45C under load. These temperatures are captured using Speed Fan and PC Probe.
I know these temperatures are fine, but if I want to push it to over 3.0GHz what sort of maximum temperature limit should I set?
Thanks,
Gary
So 61.4 is really the upper limit to prevent the cpu burning out? Thought it'd be a bit higher. – GaryJL – 2009-07-17T14:55:48.150

I hate disclaimers like that. But it's needed where I'm at. That being said, good luck, and I hope you get it to a nice speed without cooking it! – Avery Payne – 2009-07-17T15:11:24.207
