btw do you know what temperature a cpu normally operates? i have a koolance exos on my old desktop and when running non games its constantly at 80-100 (depending on winter/summer) and gaming its at 100-120 max (depending on winter/summer).

im asking about just a normal cpu with cooling fan. 150?
Should be 30~ish C. Your fine. There is actually lot of information out there on this. Basically this is the very fundamentals of what overclocking is. Turning up the settings on a component until it's temperature gets out of the safety zone, or it becomes unstable and crashes. Whichever comes first. I suggest to learn a great deal more about this you visit some overclocking forums like www.extremeoverclocking.com or www.xtremesystems.org/
