hi,

my 2.66GHz CPU is overclocked to 3.0GHz and its a core 2 duo intel dual core CPU,

i used orthos to stress test it and after 6 hours it says no errors and it's fine,
but the only thing that concerned me is that CoreTemp says that it was at 57 degrees celcius while being stressed and 34 degrees at idle... so is 57 degrees too hot for it during stress test/heavy workload?

57 is perfectly fine. I'd only start to take action (better cooling) if it was getting above 60-65C.

Just curious spiffs, are you using the stock cooler or an add-on?
