Orthos load temps

[munisgtm]

I have overclocked my e4300 to 2.8Ghz , when i ran orthos the load temps are getting upto 66C and idle temps at 38-41C , is this kind of temperature safe ? i have also added .2 volts to NB and 0.05volts to Vcore ,are these voltages safe for long-term usage ?

my rig is

e4300@2.8Ghz
MSI P6-n sli
8800GTS 320mb
600W Coolermaster supply
2GB Corsair Value RAM
Seagate 160GB HDD

Thanks in advance

E4300 has 100C Tjunction. Should be fine with Orthos up to about 75C. Enable C1E and EIST to reduce core speed and voltage at low load.

Really ??? thats great! so i can keep these settings. I have heard that C1E and EIST causes stability issues ? is it true? btw by low-load you mean when I'm not playing games right ?

They *can* cause stability issues, but if you can leave them on without a problem, you're fine. I've had them on with my E6420 @ 3.2ghz with no apparent problems.

66C under load is pretty safe.

but when I'm running orthos sometimes , the computer starts to stutter and then it goes normal after while, does it mean that my rig is still not stable ?

Should work okay with 9x multi. You'll see the voltage and frequency drop with the latest version of CPUz. Orthos puts a lot of thermal load on the CPU. You'll probably never see more than 65C under normal use, even if the CPU load is at 100%.

No, it means that Orthos is caching and moving onto a new part of the stress test. Perfectly normal.
