Hi Guys,

I need some help here. I decided to overclock my q6600 proc today. I've set FSB to 333mHz and multiplier at x9. It's running at 3.00GhZ now. All on stock FAN. CPU temp is at 55c at the moment. What i'm worried is, it seems to be stable now but the CPU temp 55c is it ok?? I read, Intel stock fan for q6600 could handle 63c. I've attached my settings. I need some guidance here. thanx in advance.
