P30185 3DMarks!!! So I broke 30k on air. I have my Corsair H70 CPU cooler coming in this week. It is a closed loop water cooler, so not an extreme water cooler by any means. I am just looking to shave a few degrees off of my CPU temps.

CPU Pentium Dual Core E5300 @2.60GHz overclocked to 3.7GHz seems to be working with voltage at 1.42500V
Graphics card XFX Radeon 5770 overclocked the GPU clock to 900 and mem clock to 1300

i've got liquid cooling. anyone think i could increase my voltage a little and push it even more?
right now my cpu is at 28C idle and usually doesn't get above 55C under loadLast edited by fender_dude07; 10-11-10 at 10:56 PM.

You need to do a long tern test. Install Prime95 and Hardware Monitor. Run Prime 95 and see if it is stable over night. Typically 8-12 hours running Prime95 stress test without any workers failing means you have a fairly stable overclock. Hardware Monitor will record your peak temp during the stress test. 55c under load seems pretty low for 1.425v. I never had temps like that under a full load with any of my Core 2 Duo CPUs.
If you are running temps that low at that high of voltage, I would think you are okay. Getting an extra 100-200MHz out of the chip probably will probably give you only minimal performance gains. You are already overclocking that chip by 42%, which is a fantastic overclock. I don't think the extra voltage and heat is worth the small gains in performance. Keep it cool and stable.
