is my computer running hot?

[trypt]

I've overclocked from 2.13ghz to 2.66ghz and I'm hitting 50C under max load. However with my window open I'm at 55C in Core temp and 42C in speedfan under full load (boinc).

it seems like i should be able to overclock to 3.0ghz+ but I don't want to melt my core2duo?

Those temps are just fine. You should be able to hit 3GHz+ with no temp problems. Even hitting 65C under 100% load is still fine and dandy.

Depends on the voltage.

You could easily OC that further, but I think your temps are ok.
