Hi, I recently got an athlon 64 3000+, that I have been gradually overclocking with prime95 working in the background. I have a pretty decent air cooling setup, and I have just been increasing voltages until I get error free with P95 for a couple minutes (then I try a step up).
It is a C0 core ClawHammer according to cpuz, with 512k cache.
I am running it the hottest it has been, 2400mhz 1.70 vcore @ 65-66C.
It seems to have stabilized there, jumping between 65 and 66.
Once P95 stops running, it drops down to near ambient (reading as 46C right now) almost instantly.
How hot can these things get before I start to worry? Or should I just push it to instability?
Thanks
EDIT: Bleh, got an error at 1.70, bumped to 1.75, and temp is reaching 69C
