Tonight I was able to OC to 4ghz and run PRIME95 for an hour solid. Temperate was at 80°C. I read somewhere that Intel say anywhere between 68-78°C was a safe range. Does anyone know what the official temperature range is so I do not "degrade" the chip's expected life. I like to get 5+ good years with my chip overclocked.
4ghz @ 1.35 vcore at 80°
3.8 @ 1.24 vcore at 65°
I think I can lower the voltage down further at 3.8ghz but running prime95 overnight to see if its stable. 65° seems like a fair temperature to be at full load. It idles somewhere around 42°C. Using a Noctua with the Ultra Kaze insane fan.
