Safe e6600 Temperature?

[Nightmare225]

Well, I got my e6600 to 3.15 GHz so far. Core Temp has been reporting 75 C at load and about 50 C at idle. Are these temperatures safe? Can I still push this badboy further?

No that temp is noway safe at all if i recall the MAX rating for that chip is 60C on load you will cook that CPU. Anyone else want to back up this info?

This is true whats your Bio say trying using Coretemp and see what that reads and post back to us the results

The readings can be off by as much as 10 degrees

PC Probe 2 and AI Booster both report the CPU as having 47 C on load. So, which one's right?

They both read the same diode.

Even if Core Temp is reading the temps too high, it's safe than sorry to have your CPU cooking at high temp 24/7. Look up Intel's C2D temp spec sheet. Basically, you wanna keep that C2D under 60C at load.

How are your temps in Temp Core in BIOS, just curious.

For idle temps, 32C @ stock E6400, 42C @ 3400. Delta is around 20C for load.
