cant oc with my current hs, if i got a new one i prob will.
 
Not really.
  • The image is cropped, while ALT+PrtScn will grab just the current window.
  • It is a JPG compressed image, although the large uniformly colored areas and the text, as well as the sharp contours would suggest that GIF or PNG compression would produce a smaller and better readable image.
Aside from that it looks like you are running an E6600 processor from Intel.
 
i idle at 40C and load at 50-52C, these temps seem to high to oc.

lol at above post
i was thinkin this kid is lost lol.

Mine idles at 28C and load at 47C. I'd say you should get those temps down - especially at idle.

Adjust your fan speed on the CPU and make sure your case is getting lots of fresh air - turn up the intake fans. All these adjustments can be done through BIOS and/or a utility for your MB.
 
You have to remember that the temperatures reported by CoreTemp are higher than temperatures reported during the previous P4 era. The Core2Duo sensors are located within the CPU at the hottest possible spot so big temp numbers are normal.

Intel rates the new C2D processors to be stable until 85C. My E6400 is presently running Orthos at a nice and steady 72C. It was as high as 80C yesterday without crashing or catching on fire.

I'm up over 3500 MHz with the Intel heatsink and fan so don't be afraid to crank your processor up a notch or two.

If you want to play it real safe, don't increase the CPU voltage. You'll still be able to run at close to 3200 MHz at default voltage with the Intel fan and your temps won't be as high as what I'm happily running.
