Hey guys,
I recently got into overclocking, and am trying to overclock an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (normally 3.00GHz) with a Gigabyte EX38-DS4 mobo. I successfully overclocked it to 3.60GHz (400x9), and Windows started with no worries. I'm not getting any stability issues, but under full load my processor has (according to RealTemp 3.40) reached 82 degrees celsius!! To make sure that it's not the program stuffing up I downloaded two other temperature-measuring programs and they both show similar values. I've changed it back to stock settings and under full load i get no more than 67 degrees. I usually run a distributed.net client in the background while I use my computer (which uses my spare processing power), and so if I were to overclock it, it would be running at full load for a lot of the time, but I don't think it's good for my computer to be running at 80 degrees celsius. What can I do?
Thanks,
