IMO it would around 60C. That's just my opinion though, some people are comfortable with it higher. Definitely nothing over 70C though.

I say nothing over 50c for me, 60c is just.. well to much for my liking...

Under 50C might not be realistic for air though...:dontknow:

Hmm, I don't like it when my e6300 hits 43c... I must be spoiled I guess.

Just curious though, what sort of cooler are you using?

man, personally, I'd be really really happy with that O/C on the E4300.....thats a really good job considering the clocks and temps you are seeing. Anything under 60C is fine.

As to the 750GB HDD, are you sure you removed the jumper? They did a poor job explaining that jumper prevents the HDD from running 3.0GB/s.

I'd be happy to. It was quite hard for me to get close to that with my E4300 - you got a good chip!

i guess i'll leave the clock as it is for now and leave it doing a torture test to make sure everything is good.

as for the hard drive i'll have to take a look and see because i can't remember.

E4300 can clock like a mad man with the right cooling (they run hot), they also have a high Tjunction than some. Getting a 100% OC out of them really isn't all that hard, I've seen several on different forums that do 3.6 or better under water cooling.

Here's a screenie of my best friends (Bio-Hazard) E4300 that he had a while back. Now another friend has the chip and MoBo, I think Bio is now (or will shortly) be running a E8400.

You can run your Chip higher than 60 C ... but in my opinion it is a wise ceiling ... where degradation of the CPU risk starts at over 66 C [Some chips are less prone to it ... some are more prone to it.]

Personally I like 55 C or under ... simply because of diminishing returns past it that I have experienced, such as BSOD or instability issues ... [Plus one C2D CPU degradation problem.]

Most of my OC gains are with an under 58 C "full load" processor with high end Air Cooling. There is always that last 200MHZ that takes one into the "fry zone" at the cost of many parts and voltages running higher and tuning down the ram speeds or latencies a tad. [So it often isn't much of an overall speed gain of the operation of the PC]

By the way ... nice overclock job so far!
