clocked way under spec is an under statement, i dont leave my rig OC but i have gotten a stable "3400+"
out of my 3000+ running stressed at only 45-50 celcius normaly not OC it runs at 35 to 45 celcius

I have Intel processor (Northwood) and it seems to be less hot when over clocked, I know it sounds strange but every time I over clock it, while doing so the temperature is extremely stable on idle statues. (I'm talking about cpu reaching 16/19 c on idle statues this is nuts :bucky!: )
After awhile, when I put some music or open a program to "heat it up a bit" it keeps stable 21c CPU and 28C system.
While in stress status, it gets up to 34c CPU & 37c system, not reaching 40 C on both.
I have it OC to 2521.6 MHz (from 2.411, not much of a difference but for testing purposes only) I can get it much higher but I have to buy the VGA cooler first ( because the system will get hotter, while the Ram/Bus speed/FSB are all going up at the same time)
Any way my point was, that in lower frequencies the temp was higher :Oo: but on higher frequencies it gets cooler.
All I did was adding a 90m"m fan in the 3.5 bays, that really child the living hell in there :thumbup: but every time i go up a notch it gets even cooler. (cpu)
