Recently picked up a GB 965P-DS3, E6300 and some G Skill DDR2800 ram. My plan is to do some OCing on it, with the Zalman CNPS9500 doing the cooling. I was curious about temps on the processor. What would be concidered too high and what would be concidered ideal temp? Reason I ask is because im not to familiar with OCing Intel processors so I want to know ahead of time what is an okat temp so I dont over due it. thanks

I get coretemp 64°C with Orthos Small ffts @ 3400 mHz 1.5v.
I can reach 3.456 mHz but it needs 1.55v and goes to 67-68 °C.
All speeds are Orthos stable >8 hours with both small and blend tests.

Amb. temp is around 20°C with a CNPS9500 of course.

There are multiple opinions about the max safe temp and voltage. I decided to stick to a max voltage on air of 1.5 with a max temp not exeeding 65°C.
