Thoughts on my overclock?

Right now I have a p4 3.0C that is clocked at 3.75Ghz and so far it seems stable running at 1.75.

Running it on an abit IC7max3 and cpu temp is at 68.5C at the highest(we all know that this is a false temp) so it's actually around 58.5 maybe less.

So I'm wondering if this seems like a safe situation pending that everything is stable(I'm typing on it right now). :) Sometimes my vcore will hit 1.81v on it's own at idle and I'm wondering what that's about...but then again that's just teh Abit EQ program reporting that. Whatcha guys think? Voltages too high? Temps too high? :eek:

Specs:
Abit IC7max3
p4 3.0C @ 3.75/250Mhz fsb/5:4 mem/locked agp/pci duh...
1GB Crosair PC3200 XMS PRO
Antec Truecontrol 550 PSU
Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu
Saphire Radeon 9800Pro
2 raptors(raid 0)
samsung 160GB
WD 120GB

Oh yeah and I took everything out of my wavemaster case and put it back in my old antec soho tower and made 2 120mm blowholes on the top and a intake on the side panel....I never came close to this in my wavemaster...:(
 
As long as you know the actual temp is under 60c you should be peachy. If it's stable it can't be haveing to many problems with heat, because that would make it unstable. Try to get a true reading of the temp while under heavy load. If you are under 60, your fine.
 
Well I was running prime on it and it ran fine then I loaded up ut2k4 and it crashed. :( But it's been running at 3.6Ghz and it's been working great in everything. I really don't feel like putting anymore voltage into it than I already had to at 3.75Ghz. :eek:
