e6600 @ 3.5 ok?

[kidgonesmall]

so right now i have my e6600 at 3.5ghz orthos stable for more than 8 hours, so i was wondering if i had put too much voltage into it because at idle the cpu is @ 1.456V- 1.440V and at load it @ 1.424V and the peak temperature on both cores is 68 degree. So do u guys think i can push it more? or just stop now and leave it as is.

Voltage wise it dosnt seem to extreem for a 65 nm chip, but heat wise 68 is a little high, I personaly would feel better keeping it under 65.

Seems a little high on the voltage. What is your VID?

Here's a very good temperature guide. And your pushing the max volts that chip can take, perhaps lowering the life span of the processor. I would lower the voltage a tad, and keep the temps under 65c.

vid = 1.35

68c is pretty hot... thats my 2 cents.
