OC - e4700 @ 3.4ghz

[Hufwe ta'em]

Last week i been OC my old CPU core2 Duo E4700 2.6 to 3.4

Volt = 1.38
FSB 1064 mhz
Memory 399 mhz ( 2x 4gb DDR 800mhz)

how long can my pc survive with this ?

The most dangerous part is always volatage because even a rather slight increase can cause fatal damage to your CPU. In General if you can keep the temps as low as possible and you don't experience any errors (maybe try some folding@home because the client is very sensitive to calculation errors) it should work. Just don't increase the voltage too much

it is what i use to stress the CPU for one week at 100% - the highest temperature the CPU goes is 59 C.

What's the original voltage? if it's something like 1.35V it wont be a problem but if it's like 1.2V you should really consider lowering it (and maybe be lucky that it's alive)
