Currently my 2.4c gets upto 61c according to MB5 under load (Far Cry) overclocked @ 2.7. Is that a safe temp? Second question. Should I buy a 3.0c to increase performance? Is it worth the 200 bucks to upgrade? I have a bfg 5900xt. Is that card maxed out at the 2.7 speed. Would the 3c push it much better? I mostly play games. Hell thats all I do. :p Thanks
 
61 is god damn f-ing hot. However I'm used to amd's If you want get an amd 64 3200 and you can usually get an oem for 200. Mine's clocked stable at 2.4

I am on the stock HSF but i have 2 120mm and 1 80mm fan blowing right on my cpu. I am currently running my chip at the 1.525 voltage and my fsb is 221. Upping the voltage will increase heat right? I don't see how I could run thie 2.4c at 3+ without it melting? I am going to buy a water kit this weekend so hopefully that will help with the high temps. My mobo idles at 33 at a ambient temp of 72 degrees.

Maybe its the goofy Dracula case i have... :eek:
