I am currently running prime for about 5 hours on my 3800+ now running at 2.6ghz. I am concernd I might blow out the chip. I am running at mother volt setting of 1.53v but cpuz is showing 1.48 at full load. The current temps are at 48C 49C and this chip is watercooled as well. I want to know is this ok and shoud I be worried?


Thanks,
Darkstar

Don't worry. Those temps are perfectly fine, esp if its after 5 hours. Your chips won't blow up. CPU-Z shows that I'm runing 1.55 volts, but in reality i'm running 1.39. I dunno why. It can mess up sometimes.

It's pretty hot for water cooling though... I'd back off a bit and try to keep the voltage at 1.4v if possible.
