Concerned about high temp - Celeron 566, o/c to 952 at 36C

[RaviA]

I just built a Celeron 566 o/c to 952Mhz at 1.9v. I'm concerned about the temperature - it's now hovering around 36C; without o/c it used to be at around 28C.

What is the upper temperature limit on the Celerons? Should I really be concerned? Is this normal?

Thanks!

it's normal, although for us hard core oc people it's a bit on the high side. But I wouldn't worry about it too much, 1.9v is what you should worry aobut, the celeron2/pIII FCPGA .18 micron die chip set have a operational temperature of up to 80 degrees, but well, that's the intel offical specs, you never ever want to trust that, but really. 36 is way far off, but your voltage is really too high, the "theoratical" limit of all coppermine die chipset is 2.1v, and let me emphise the word.. "THEORTICAL!!!" 1.9 is way way up there, to me, 1.85 is as far as you'll ever wnat to to, but of course that's just my personal opinion, I got mine to 901 at 1.7 and I'm happy, you don't gain that much more speed w/ 51mhz more.

my duron idles at 49C and jumps to 53C so don't worry, both at .18 micron and stable.

when your celeron reaches 49C , then worry.
