I've been leaving my older CPUs at stock (both because the newer chips will gain more PPD/watt with overclocking and because I took a break from computers to put my life back together during the Core 2 era), but want to clock them. Right now they run right at 70C at full load (Q6600, Q9300, and an E8400 on an E430 stock heat sink.)
If I were to clock these babies and maybe put this Xigmatek Gaia SD1283 on one of them, what are safe voltages/Folding temperatures to run them? My 2500K seems to be rock-stable Folding at 4800MHz 70C, though temps got too high for Prime95 and two threads crashed, and my i5-750 is also humming at 3.2GHz 70C.
Hey, why the heck are all my CPUs at exactly 70C?
Anyway, question stands amidst the rambling. Safe voltages/Folding temps for Q6600, Q9300, E8400?
