Hi,
I have a E2200 on a Gigabyte G31 chipset motherboard, and 2x1GB of cheap 666MHz DDR2 memory. This is for a budget system so I didn't think much about overclocking, but being the curious me, I decided to try it out and was surprised by its overclocking potential. The default speed is 2.2GHz(200x11). I've brought it up to 2.93GHz(266x11) so far and it's been stable so far(ran Prime95 for 2+ hours).
Temperatures, according to gigabyte easytune, realtemp and coretemp, are in the low 70s load and low 40s idle. And this is with stock voltage, cheap memory and the stock intel HSF! Pretty amazing...just to be sure I measured the voltages of all my Vantec 450W PSU rails, and at both idle@stock and full load@overclocked, the voltages didn't budge, so it must not be eating a lot of power either.
I'm wondering how high these normally go, and what's the safe temperature limit? Seems like the tjmax is 85c for the CPU.
