Old CPU running on 100% for a long time

[raptor07]

I have a Core2Duo E4400, very old, one of the first on the market. I have OC'ed it to by 20% (from 2.0 to 2.4, using the stock OC settings in the BIOS). Anyways, I tend to push it to 100% for a long time, sice I do a lot of rendering. Yes, I know that is OK and my temp stays in the 50-60°C range, but is that OK for a 5-6 year old CPU? The MB is the same age.( asus P5LD2 SE). Never had any problems with it, and hope I will never have Thanks in advance

max temp is 61c

id suggest upgrading that processor anyway

you can use speccy to find your motherboard google it and download the program

this is a fairly safe bet that it would work its released before your processor
