I have an E4500 and I have OC'ed to 2.75ghz. I know the chip has plenty of room to go higher, but unfortunately it is very hot where I am. As it stands right now the thing idles at 26C-30C and when under load gets into the mid=high 40's. In the winter it never got over 30 under load so I know the weather is the reason for it going so high.

So my question is... Do you guys think I should try going to 3 or 3.2 ghz? At what idle temp do you consider it too high? At what load temp do you consider it too high. And by too high I mean putting more stress than is needed on the CPU.

Thanks

Dude your fine... Too hot is something like 60º-70ºC and the DTS sensors report idle pretty far off anyways.
