My computer operates around 48 degrees when idle, rising to about 60 degrees under 20-40% load before stabilizing. I’m curious if others could suggest safe overclocking limits. If reaching 3 GHz is possible, that would be great. I’ve heard some users achieving up to 4 GHz, but I know this model is quite old and each unit may behave differently. Appreciate any advice you can offer.

When operating at 100% load, the temperature reaches around 75 degrees for approximately 10 minutes before stopping. This result was verified using Prime95.
