What are the "ideal" temperatures for an overclocked processor? What is the ceiling temperature where the CPU starts taking damage from heat?
I used MSI's "overclock genie" and my CPU went up to 3.4 GHz but idled at 45-50 *C. A bit too hot, so I set my clock speeds back to default. I have a ZALMAN CNPS9900 CPU cooler. It isn't exactly the best, but it's certainly a heck of a lot better than the paperweight Intel stock cooler.
I heard the Corsair H50 and H70 (water cooling) can reach 4.0 GHz with ease.
