i tried converting 4 videos at once to give my overclocked q6600 to a max of 100%... im wondering, if this temperature is still acceptable?

im using C2Q Q6600 processor and ASUS P5K Pro motherboard, all with stock cooling, and in a normal room temperature (no aircond)

i've downclocked back to my previous 3ghz... but according to core temp, my idle temp is still at 50+... but my asus mobo utilities shows otherwise :S... wats going on =.="

and the Vid in core temp seems to be different than in my asus mobo utilities as well =.="... i know i've set it to 1.216

after reading those articles you linked, i get the picture... wat i'd like to know now, is at wat temperature for core and cpu is the safest for my proc? is 70+ c for core temp considered acceptable? as for cpu, i believe 60 and below is safe.. sry im kinda new to this core temp thing >"<

i see... i guess... ill just stick to 3ghz until i change my cooling system then T_T... thanks for the info guys ^^

i've settled my problem!!! just by adding additional 2 fans, i've got my core and cpu temp reduced by 10% wwwwwwww... btw, what cooling would you guys recommend?
