I have my e6600 overclocked to 3.4gigs 8x425. I can run it at 3.6gig on 450fsb or 9x400 but orthos fails during testing. Anyways, 3.4 works for me. Only thing Im concerned about is temps. Idle its 30c but when using orthos stress test, it runs between 54 to 57c. Does this mean that when running games, Ill be at 57c? I heard people reaching 70c with no problems but I want to make sure im ok in terms of not breaking my cpu. I have my vcore at 1.36 and everything else set to normal voltage. I appreciate any info. By the way, is there any freeware porogram aside from nvidias, that reads the gpu temps? Or what about a program that reads both cpu and gpu?
 
hmmm Not quite sure about C2D temps but I would say that 57c under full load should be ok,

Plenty of other CPU's (P4's and AXP's) normally run in this temperature range and have no problems at all.
