Overclock Question

heres a screengrab:

these stats are while playing...are these temps OK? been playing for about an hour and temps have been stable. im at max OC according to my AMD catalyst suite program. (new driver as of yesterday)

much improved over non-OC. im in love.

heres a little more info and specific temps. I feel like I should have done this ages ago. any computer heads have any ideas or advise? safe to run this? I plan on taking it easy and giving it a J physics pause break here and there. as soon as I pause physics, the temp drops about 20 degrees in about 20 seconds. this is very interesting. ***its in Degrees F btw, not C lol***

 

Should be fine according to this

It says that the maximum operating temperature is 100°C yours is around 70-75°C

 

Those temps are easily within a safe operating range. I would say only stop playing or turn down the overclocking if you get to around 185 Fahrenheit or higher.

 

I've never seen anyone measure CPU temperatures in Fahrenheit, you should switch to Celsius.

 

thanks guys...my core tempprogram is set to automatically sleep mode the computer if it hits 185 degrees, so ill punch that up a bit, since it did hit that magic number for a quick second, when I added 3 cars quickly. I will set it to 195 and let it rock for a few days, if theres any issues I will report back. I can safely go up to 205, 210-212 is the max oper. temp. I never got close to that, so I think im fine. the only thing I guess I have to watch out for is blocking the cooling fan exit. also going to get a laptop cooler, or just duct my AC into a tiny little hose and stick it near the fan lol
