What is the max safe Temp of IntelCore2Duo E7200 @ 2.53 GHZ ? I have overclocked it to 2.85 GHZ on Stock Intel Cooler and max temp at load was 58° C and Idle 46°C ( used Core Temp 0.99.4). So, how much can i overclock more within safe temperature ? will 70°C be Ok if i overclock it more ?

try googling for "processor critical temperature"

this might help

70 C at Load is high but not really critcally alarming. Somewhat OK for Overclocked Proccessor.

try keeping temperature under 65-68 to be safe.

Have you kept the auto setting to off. How you cooling it. What PSU. How did you check the load..?

I have Intel EIST enabled in Bios,

Using Original Intel Stock Cooler for cooling it.

2x 100 mm Cabinet Fan

Generic 500 W PSU ( till now no GPU installed )

CoreTemp to see Max temperature during playing SWAT 4.

^^ post in correct section from next time

Now coming to the topic :

that game can't be counted as a application for measuring cpu load temps.

Use Realtemp to monitor temps and for cpu load temp test download and run Orthos 1 hour cpu test - that should give a fair idea about your cpu stability and load temps.

BTW, you should be in safe zone if your cpu temp remains under 68C under load.

here's the screenshot after 30 mins test of Orthos
