I'm giving the CPU a workout @2.64GHz right now and core 0 is averaging about 54C.
I upgraded from a Pentium D 3.0 GHz so the first thing I had to get over was that a drop in processor clock didn't matter.  It's converting Canon RAW images at about 2.5 times the rate that my Pentium D did. |
OMG, I would never run a cpu that hot. I get worried when I go over 38 at full load(rendering 3d frames). I use a Monsoon TEC cooler, and it's an overclocker's best friend.

Drop your temps about 10 degrees easy with this. Easy to install. Your going to do damage to your chip with all that heat. Anyway, like I said before, that chip isn't a good overclocker, but you need to be a lot cooler.
