Hi i just downloaded the xpc tools and I am have a question regarding overclocking the cpu. My cpu is a 2.8 now recently overclocked to 3.0 and its running inbetween 50-55 degrees while gaming playing ravenshield. I was wondering if I should overclock it any higher or just leave it where it is my 6800gt is currently clocked at 410 and 1110. My aquamark score after the overclock went from around 61,000 to 64,000 and ravenshield has been running very smooth even with vsync off hardly dropping below 70fps with all graphics on high 1024x768. I was wondering should I try to go higher or am I right where I should be and not tinker with it anymore

thanks

here is an image of the xpc tools to see what I am working with.

Got any specs on your system? shuttle type, cpu, and ram at the very least. :)

back OT: if you want to OC it's entirely up to you if you feel that that extra 200 mhz is worth it. Just be sure to have your temps in check. to me anything >50c is a bit iffy but that's just my own comfort zone.
 
That doesn't seem too bad, my 3.0E C0 stepping idles between 56-59 in my shuttle. Been going strong for almost a year with no hiccups.

I have used throttle watch while playing BF2 for a couple hours, no problems with throttling.
