My first attempt at an OC...I have an E6400 oc'd to 3.2 on 1.375 volts (set in bios). Im not really sure what my temp should be. I installed a zalman 9700 with as5, and the load temp is 55c after 4+ hours running orthos. After about 13 hours the temp rose to 60c. I stopped orthos at that point...I wasnt sure if I should allow the temp to get any higher or not.
 
What are you using to measure the temps? If you're using TAT, then those temps are just fine.
 
Most of us use coretemp for the reason stated on the home page (reads internal temp die directly) and it also allows us to compare temps with taking out any errors/differences between all the different utilitys provided by the motherboard manufactures where we dont know how or where they come up with temps. Its free, but shoot the man $ if you can.

Your temps are good, my personal comfort zone with coretemp is about 60C under load and I have set the cpu temp warning setting in my bios to 65C. I am conservative. I think max internal junction temp is 85C but am not sure and too lazy to verify as the intel documentation wants to talk about power dissipation curves.

wow there is a 5c difference in readings...core temp shows 50c while the ai suite shows 55c.

that is a significant difference isnt't it? I guess the only way to know what the actual temp is if I were to put my own diode down there myself.
 
Core temps of 50C under load are better than most people are getting. Be happy. :D

Core temp is VERY accurate. For example, I recently built 12 identical machines for a local office building. Coretemp on each of them showed within 2'c load.

That's pretty damn good.

Do an overnight orthos test with coretemp running and we'll see what it tells you. Anything sub 60 is nice.
