Hello, using SetFSB I managed to get a stable 3.2 Ghz OC on my Q6700 without voltage tweaking. I have a few questions and concerns on the safety of this overclock.
What is the % of improvement that I will see with an Asus Hd 7870 DirectCU II (none Top) with this overclock, as opposed to the default?
Using HWmonitor my Core temps hardly went up by 5 c on average and run at about 50 c MAX, how is it possible that my OTP406 was able to handle the heat with a regular fan and heatsink?
How long do you think my CPU will last with a constant OC of 3.2 Ghz?
I raised my Bus Speed to 320 Mhz from 260 Mhz without changing my Voltage, should I be worried?
My Rated FSB is running at 1280 Mhz and my Voltage is 1.275, should I lower my Overclock for safety?
Best CPU/ Motherboard Temperature measuring program?
Thank you for helping a newbie.
