Critique my OC!

hello! this is my first attempt on this CPU. I did not touch the voltages as i want this CPU to last. Are the load temps are a problem?
if it is, i'm considering an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro. i'd be looking for a cool and quiet cooler, so would this be good? Or any other suggestions that cool well and are more quiet and not too expensive at the same time? The idle temps are around 36-39C btw

the oc went all the way up to 2.81ghz but Prime95 found errors so i lowered the speed until it had no problems. At 2.81ghz, it took superpi 34 seconds to do 1m. When Prime95 finds errors, what is actually the problem?

Thanks for your help =]

at 93 and 98 degrees, your CPU wants to crawl out of its socket and punch you in the face. those temps are going to destroy your processor if you dont do something soon. id say its just an error because of the major difference from the other temps but i have never seen speedfan not be accurate
 
lol, you mean temp3 yea. i think its an error. it went berzerk after the stress test, but its usually around 15-25C any idea what that is actually?
 
rather than assuming its an error you should find out what temp3 is IMO. it would suck to be wrong and have a burnt up CPU because of it. if it turns out that temp3 is often a bogus reading then you're safe

That CPU wouldn't last too long at that temperature...atleast i wouldn't think it would.

Speedfan has always errored for me. Hell its telling me my overclocked cpu is running at like 20 degrees celcius...my room temperature is 25.
 
the core went to 66C i think the second i took the screenshot it already went down 10C. It seemed high. What should the safe range be for the cpu and the core?

Core temp above 70*C is too high, IMO.
 
A lil tip, exit all your other programs when you run super pi, cos i had the same chip @ the same speed and it got 31 seconds not 36
