Well... I'm overclocking my E8400 CPU, and I suffer from the stereotype that as soon as I go up some voltage, my CPU is going to explode.
I was wondering if this is too much for this CPU:
Vcore: 1.306v
Idle temp: 42c
Load: 63-64c
My CPU is currently clocked at a WHOPPING (lol) 4.1 Ghz.


Thanks!

P.S.
I heard that the temp sensors on the e8400 are really innacurate. I download realtemp and it says 30 something idle and 55 something load. Is that true?
 
Explode! Melt down! Rupture a core! Fry you RAM! Toast some Cache!

Real Temp is supposed to be right on the Money. ONCE you do the calibration stuff.

You need more Voltage!
