Freq: 3.9GHz
Vcc: 1.384 -->1.360 load
Temps: ~40 idle --> 57 load
FSB: 432
Mem: 400(unlinked and manually set. A problem?)

SPP: 1.45
MCP: 1.50
FSB VTT: 1.30
HT SPP MCP: 1.20

How safe is this overclock for 24/7 use? Are the core voltages too high?

Also, my Vdrop is kinda high! I have my VCC set at 1.413, but CPUz reads 1.384. Is that ok?

Thanks for the input!

voltages look fine.. well within the recommended limit on the cpu voltage.. the vdroops pretty normal but its not that big of a deal and the temps look good..
 
1.41 looks fine? seems really high to me for just 3.9. I can hit 3.8 at just over the stock 1.25.

Its not 1.41v, technically; the Vdrop results in about 1.38 volts idle with CPUz.

well I meant I can hit 3.8 setting 1.25 in the bios which is just over 1.2 in cpuz. I just don't think you need any where near 1.41 in the bios for 3.9.
 
You'll be fine. I've been running my e8400 at 4ghz (1.4v in bios) for ~1.5 years now, 24 hours a day. I turn it off maybe once a week

not every intel processor can hit the same overclock as the other due to the differing VID's on each processor that intel uses..
