I have a e8400 cpu and ran OCCT for an hour and got some data back, min temp: 36, max: 56. degrees cel
But before I overclocked the cpu temp was 36 and 37 degrees celcius at 3.0GHz.
After it was overclocked at 3.7GHz the temp remained the same.
Isn't temp supposed to change?
And this is prob obvious but how do I know if it is stable? If all the results come back and theres no error, right?
Thanks guysDoes overclocking change the temp of your cpu?When you overclock your system you are taking some risks. You have the possibility of frying your CPU if you do not have ample cooling. To get a true feel for how your system handles overclocking you should download, install and run prime95:

Prime 95 stresses your system out to get each core running at 100% usage.
You should also download and run coretemp to see what your temperatures are at.

Run prime95 for a few hours and check to see if your temps get out of hand or if your system shuts down. If you system has problems while running prime 95 you should look into a better CPU fan or add some additional case fans to your system.Does overclocking change the temp of your cpu?It depends on how much you over-clocked it and the cooling system, if you have a good cooling system, the temperature may remain the same.Does overclocking change the temp of your cpu?u did'nt need help uve already done it. And the answer is yes. If it work harder then it must create more heat. Pure Physics and Chem.Does overclocking change the temp of your cpu?That is correct
