I may have been wrong and it's a 5c difference. Doesn't matter. I would be more concerned about using a stock-ish cooler at the frequencies you are running. Either way it's your hardware, I don't care.

He's right, 95C or 100C doesn't matter, if you care at all about your hardware, DONT run it at those temps.

If I were you, I'd even buy a Hyper 212+, add an extra fan, get some good TIM like MX-2 or OCZ Freeze, and run it at 3.8GHz

well if i were you (im in a very simlar situation) buy a cheapo aftermarket cooler, and take that thing as far as it will go. aslong as it is stable and not TOO hot, it will see you through till summer. :toast:


Try loosening your memory timings slightly, then stress test it for at least 4hrs NO LESS

Use OCCT for stress testing, it is better

I searched through the thread and didn't see anyone mention IBT (Intel Burn Test) - download from 3d guru

It has multiple setting so you don't have to worry. However on 'max', it will beat the shit out of any cpu. If you can go 10 rounds on max (free up as much memory as possible first) with IBT, you are rock solid stable at whatever your current ambient temps are.

That is what OCCT LinPack is.:D

Maybe they have the same code at the core, but I've used all 3 and OCCT doesn't even come close to IBT on max. IIRC, IBT consistently makes my CPU's hit temps that are a minimum of 5C hotter than OCCT.

You have to see it for yourself to believe it. OCCT will kick your CPU in the nuts, but IBT cuts them off and feeds them to you. :toast:

I use OCCT for memory a bit, but usually just use IBT, definitively awesome

thanks but i plan to keep this cpu for some more time . :ohwell:

it's won't kill the CPU. If it does, you weren't supposed to run it at that speed/voltage anyways
