I just overclocked my e6600 400 mhz system clock x 8 @ 3200 mhz
using ddr2 800mhz ram.

im using a zalman cnp9500at cooler and jesus what a pain that was to fit had to take motherboard out are they all that bad?

Orthos has been running for 16 mins and have had no crash.

But.. my cpu temp is 60 to 65 ?

Is this ok ?

That is warm, but it should be safe...

What are using to measure?

And yeah, many coolers require you to remove your motherboard these days.

im using everest to measure the the temp.

Oh and its 45 c at idle.

What would have happened if I tired this OC with stock cooling ?

Just do like me, fit a couple of vantec tornados and a Delta 120mm in the back , put your computer in another room (for the noise) or (buy a fan controller) and done, temperatures wont go up.
Its cheaper , really effective but really noisy, just like having a vacuum cleaner on all the time. If it wasn't for the cooler master aerogate fan controller i would have already shoot myself.

lol
ive already spent too much on my zalman CNPS9700

Ive checked my voltages in the bios.

System Voltage was set to auto which lead to me having a V Core of 1.41 which is quite a lot i think.

However im a bit scared to turn off system voltage control
since I dont understand the other settings.

DDR over voltage control (values range from 0.25 v to 0.47 v)
PCI-E over voltage control (values range from 0.5 v to 0.47 v)
MCH Over voltage control (values range from 0.05 v to 0.75 v)
FSB Over Voltage Control ( values range from 0.5 v to 0.35 v)
