I just got my conroe E6300, and i started to overclock it, ive only gotten to 2.0Ghtz with 286x7. Right now, just using Firefox, the temperatur is 52C, but when ive been playing games it has been running at about 56-58C.

I am on stock cooling and 1.228V. Is this temperature too high. I was only planning to overclock to around 2.4, so i was wondering if this is alright. Without any overclock the CPU runs at about 47C with just internet running.

mobo- ASUS P5B vanilla.
 
Im not sure what the max temp a conroe can take it, but once your getting much over 50C your gettiing too hot. 55C really is the max you'd want to run at under full load. You'll need better cooling before you push anymore, if anything you may want to back off alittle till you do so.
