Overclocked: i3 and 5830..Is this ok?

Hello,

I recently did some overclocking to my CPU and GPU. I need some comments/insights/suggestions if these values are stable/fine or do I need some changes to it. Im using the stock cooler on my CPU. I am also a total NOOB on overclocking, and I just experimented with this last night. Anyways, here are the pictures:



and here are the temperature readings:



PEAK CPU TEMP: 70-72 degrees Celcius
PEAK GPU TEMP: 60-63 degrees Celcius

Was it stable? prime tested? Damn I gotta get my hands on those i3s. If intel could make a quad i3 or a triple core that would be really nice. Gpu temps are quite acceptable but you got to invest for a good cpu HSF cooler to lower down those temps.

so far ok ra man sya...unsa ba software to assess sa stability sa CPU? i've tried prime95 ba to...i forgot..temps reached around 71C. whats a HSF cooler?

[Sempron Guy]

I mean aftermarket cooler bro,...ayaw anang stock cooler lang. Prime95 ra ako ginagamit pag mag-test ko for stability. Let it run for 2hours at least.

unsa ma suggest nimu na cooler bro? sakto ba na sa akung case (coolermaster elite 330)?

Get an aftermarket cooler for your processor bai. I don't think its advisable to overclock using stock coolers.

software bug ra ni or am i doing something wrong?
