I have an e2200, overclocked to 3.2ghz with the core voltage at 1.54v. It gets up to a stable 52c during crysis (all very high, no aa, i only get like 17 fps in combat, but its playable) and i was wondering if this is the normal temp range. It idles at like 27c and then loads at 52c (full load) The cooler is a scythe ninja rev.b with a scythe slipstream fan on it.
 
What program are you using to read these temperatures? CoreTemp or RealTemp are preferred. Are they core temperatures, or the "CPU" temperature?

A core temperature of 52C load is fine. If it's the CPU temperature and the cores are in the 60C+ range, then it's probably still okay, although getting on the warm side.
 
yeah, i know its over the vcore threshold, but i really wanted to get to 3.2ghz, and that was the only way. I have noticed not other problems

I use coretemp, and speed fan. They both read the same.
 
My E2180 is running at 51C load @ 3.0ghz 1.34vcore, using AFP7. and the outside temp is only 40 degrees, I'm not comfortable with the CPU running @ 50C+ load, i'll probably go back to my original clock @ 2.56GHZ for 43C load temps.
 
Intel's thermal specifications are generally over 70C (note that's CPU/Tcase temperature which is lower than core temperature), and I wouldn't personally be worried about 50C, although I wouldn't want it to go much into the 60C range. But obviously stick with whatever you're comfortable with.
