This what I have so far, but 4th or last thread failed in small FFTs failed in Prime95. I've tried to upping CPU Voltage and CPU PLL Voltage, but it still fails. Also running CoreTemp during this run, I see that the temperatures are:
Core 1: 75
Core 2: 75
Core 3: 67
Core 4: 67

I have air cooling, are those numbers too high. I got scared and turn it off. Yes I am a chicken. LOL.

YES those temps are too high you will kill that chip running it at 75 degrees.. The V-core at 1.5 is fine but the cooling is not... You need to rethink yor OC because if small FFT's are failing you still need more v-core and you are already maxed out temperature wise...

Thanks for the reply there Guacomole,

hmm....that is not good then. What about OC down to 3.2 GHz or 3.0 GHz?

What is a good core temperature for air cooling?
