I just OC-ed my Q6600 from 2.4 to 3.0
What I'm concern about is the temperature is at 50-55 in idle state. (Without air-con on)
Haven't tried in full load mode.
*Will try it after I finish updating my Battlefield 3*

My question is:
Is this temperature too dangerous for my processor?
I'm using cooler master mars as my cpu cooler, but the temperature is still high,
I did some research with google and it says the idle temp should be around 35-40 and <65 when full load.
Should I lower the speed?

Another question is should I put my casing on the table for better airflow?
I'm putting it under the table now with the back and both side covered with table's leggings.
Will it affect my airflow?


I'm still new to OC-ing

I have no crashes / bluescreen yet until now for around one and a half hour.
