Overclocked to 3.9 ghz UD3R chipset, 1.25 VCore (bios) using a push pull air cooled setup via the cooler master hyper 212 HSF. I made a mistake with the HSF and should have gotten the sunbeam contact freezer or xigmatek 1283 ugh, too late now though.

Temps are as follows:

Idle @ around 31C
Prime95 Blend brings core 0 to about 54C
Intel Burn test brings it up to around 60C after 5 iterations

Core 0 always runs about 3 degrees hotter than 1 2 3.

Question is can I leave things the way they are now and expect the CPU to give me 2+ solid years of use?
 
:welcome: to OCForums.
Your temps look just fine, especially for a quad. :thup:

Thanks, that's good news now I can sit back and enjoy 1080p movies and games w00t. I've been out of the overclocking game since the Athalon days, so it's good to be back :beer:
