Safe Temps for e2140

[nickc07]

I just bought an E2140 and GA-P35-DS3L. I was on a budget so I oced a bit. I am running at 320x8 = 2.88GHz. I ran Prime95 stress test at max and both cores stayed around 64-66. I read on Intels board 71.2 is the max temp.

Is this going to be safe longterm? I dont think under normal gaming I could ever run as hard as this stress test.

Just looking for advice.

nickc07, you are somewhat correct, however, it's not quite that simple. You're confusing CPU (Tcase) temperature specification with Core (Tjunction) temperatures. If you look at the Sticky's at the top of this Forum, you will see a Temperature Guide. Your answers are there, so check it out.
