My new CPU temps while OC'ed

[jalpaugh1978]

I just built a new system with an E8400 and the Sunbeamtech CC Freezer. At a 3.6GHZ oc my chip idles @ about 38*c and the maxes at about 57*C(both cores) during Everest's stress test @ full load. Just was wondering if the temps were normal and ok for that oc or not. I have a Gigabyte EP45-UD3R Mobo and all I did for the oc was turn up the FSB to 400. My vCore was 1.29 if this helps. Anyways, from what I have seen on here the temps seem a little high for that OC and was wondering if it's ok or if I should reseat the heatsink. thanks

The temperatures are okay.
You need to test for errors with Prime95. Enable "Check for rounding errors".
Watch the temperature also while running this test.
Better 399 or 401 MHZ, because 400 is a strap.
For longevity of the processor do not go over 10% of the default vCore voltage.

Use RealTemp for temperatures.
