planing to OC my CPU

[Dutu40]

Hey guys

I just bought a new cooler for my CPU (i5 760) and i wanna try some overclock but i wanna ask the pro first: maybe in like 2-3 years i will buy another CPU, for now I'm planning to OC this CPU for gaming (almost every day/all the day

) ) and i want to know, if for example i will OC it to around 3.2-3.5GHz (stock: 2.8GHz) and the temperature under full load would be around 60-70-80 degrees will the CPU survive long and good?

That depends on voltage more than anything and you won't find out an exact figure/ range for that until you actually do the overclocking but as long as you stay below the voltage renowed to start decaying the CPU (do some research, most guys on forums will mention it if you look in an i5 760 OC thread) you should be okay - and you need a decent heatsink ofcourse

Shaving wood and overclocking a CPU. Never thought I'd see that one !
