asus p4c800deluxe-e 800-2.4p4 overclock

[davescott]

I have an asus p4c800 Deluxe-e mobo with intel p4 800mhz FSB
I am new to overclocking and now have it overclocked to 3.1 ghz at 1040FSB. When i task it out (say Unreal Tourn 2003) my cpu temp rises to almost 120F. Is this okay? Normally the CPU temp is less than 100F. Please help. I dont want to fry my chip!

that's fine; it's only around what, 34, 35 C? It goes up because you're working your chip harder when you play a game.

Great choice---dont worry you cant fry it, itl throttle itself back or not boot or shut itself off prior...

Thanks, im just worried when it goes up to like 50C. Is that too high. Also i have the stock heatsink and fan. What is a good alternative?
