70-80c you should be ok with. In a real world situation (lets say your running BOINC) your max temps are likely to be about 68c, which is perfectly within limits. If you are concerned with temps Just back your OC down a tad and reduce CPU voltage.

Thanks Ket, since in real world situation my 2600k actually never load up to 50% for cores so the temp usually stay below 60 degree. Maybe my CM 212+ is bugged or something, Ive tried many different thermal paste applying method but the result still in the range between 75-80 degree priming, unlike other ppl on forums who usually say they have lower than 65 full load priming with the same cooler :confused:
Ambient temps have a lot to do with load CPU temps as well. In a room that gets up to about 28c my max temps running IBT are 80c @ 1.35v 4.6GHz.
You guys have any idea why I'm getting random restarts while priming at 5ghz? vCore doesn't seem to be the problem everything is stable except for prime blend. I can game for hours, lynx is stable as a can be but prime won't run for more then 15-20min. before I get a reboot.
Alright, thanks for the input.:) I'll reset the ram to default settings and try again. These boards are very quirky, I'm rock solid stable at 4.8ghz even got my voltage down to 1.36v but at 5ghz with the same ram settings I get problems. :shrug:
I'm gonna give it a go right now I'll let you know how it went.:up:
The boards aren't quirky. Remember any adjustment you make its not on the board per'se, its built into the CPU. If you make a memory divider change for example, thats stressing the IMC more on the CPU, not the board. Same when you increase BCLK, the CPU again is going to be your limiter, its all because of how the SB architecture is designed. The undisputed memory stability test champion is HCI memtest, see if your sticks can pass 1500-2000% of HCI, only then can you your memory is stable. ;)
Ok, thanks Ket I have downloaded it, I'll give it a go and see what happens. I tried the mems on default settings and got the same results so maybe the IMC is not up to snuff for running 5ghz.
Edit: Ran HCI and got 0 errors so far

This bug is reportedly solved in 1.61
http://www.mediafire.com/?y48ma6vwm4aw6lh
My gskill 7/8/7/24's 1600's needed 1.65v insted of 1.6 for 1866 and above and ofcourse looser timings but they would run all the way up to 2133 with 1.6 stable in everything but prime which didnt bother me much but I was getting the random crash with certain games. With 1.65 im now stable in everything 100%. With that said im still on the fence about 1.65V on ram 24/7 being a issue or not:shrug:
The filename suggest it's for Fatal1ty P67 Professional.

Bios 1.61
Change log:
- Improve mouse movement in BIOS Setup
- Don't full RESET after change of BCLK
- Keep user profile after Clear CMOS
Somehow the 1.61 bios file does not show on my instant flash , other older bios are fine.
Just flashed to 1.6A, testing some lower volt 24/7 stuff. So far so good. Gonna work on max bench settings next and see how it goes. Here are my settings as of now, anything look out of place or somthing to possibly change for the better?

xtreame6 bios 1.33A
bios bug level 3 = c stat
Where are the Pro3 bioses? The new ones past 1.70 anyways?
I'm pretty sure UEFI 1.7 is the newest for the Pro3 still. Theres nothing on PCtrieber or the FTP.
