I finally got 1200!!!!!!!

I know, no big thing, I am just real excited, it has been my goal since I got this thing. :) I do have 1 question, will my temp hurt this thing (53'C using burnk6, 51'C using PRIME95)? I am getting a GW WBK in a couple of weeks(short on cash right now), just wondering if you think I should slow it down till I get it. It's rock solid even at 53', I ran prime95 and 3Dmark2k at the same time for a half hour with noooooo probs at all. My idle is 24-27'C depending on room temp of course. TIA

It should be ok, but what is reporting the temps to you? I'm not familiar with the Abit boards, but the Asus ones actually report the temp higher than the actual core temp. at any rate, I've had by Duron 700 up to 57°C before I heard the alarm(set for 55) going off.... and it still seems to work pretty well.

well depend on how much you willing to risk? i would at least add one more chasis fan to out-take hot air. or open the case and see if temp decrease.
long term exposure to high temp may cause data loss and dead cpu.

Good job. Before I cracked my chip I hit that no problem w/ voltage lower than default. You should try the same. If its not stable, just raise it back up. Good luck getting it higher! :)

I'll give the lower volts a try and see what happens, it would be great if it worked. Thanks guys.
