I'm running at 3.2ghz (stock is 2.1), fsb is 400(1600), idle temp is 37 C degrees, memories running at ddr2800. Room temp is generally about 85 F : ( It appears to be stable, but is it likely to cause damage or anything (never really messed with OCing before).

Run Prime95x2 or Orthos to see if you are stable at that speed.

But yes, you are fine. Usually what kills chips is too much voltage or not enough cooling. You didn't mention if you modified your voltage at all.

It was at stock voltage, but I wasn't prime stable : (

I tried pushing up to 1.45 vcore 5-5-5-15 timings 2.00 vmem, but I still wasn't stable.

Right now, I'm at 3.12ghz 1.4 vcore 4-4-4-12 1.90 vmem still 1:1 memory ratio. I could probably drop the voltages some and still be stable though. I'm running 40C idle, and highest I hit during superpi was 44 degrees.

This sounds like a super pi single core temp. Create two directories, put a copy of super pi into each directory, run a different copy on each core, wait 20 minutes and then let us know your core temps. If it runs long enough ... hehehe

I've very curious.

Running two superpis one of each core; it's hanging out at 46 degrees mostly. It spikes up to 47-48 for a few seconds sometimes though.
