I just overclocked my P4 3.0Ghz HT @ 1.4V to 4.0Ghz @ 1.5V. It is fairly stable and if I work on it, I am sure it can go beyond that.

CPU temp is 48 C idle and goes all the way 60 with load. But that's beacuse room temp is 32C.

System temp varies with load 35-40C.

The thing that worries me is that the caps around CPU get hot. Like 50C and goes up to 70 with game play. Not only the caps but the coils and all the compenents get hot. Should I be worried?
