I get a max of 78C Everest reading, but only after weeks of continuous crunching and 30C ambient. I wouldn't like it if it went over 70C real...
So you are getting 68c real with all 8 cores at 100% and only after weeks 24/7 @ 100%???

My heatsinks are cold - not even warm to the touch after 30 mins of prime95 with the temps saying what they are...how weird. They hit 105c in CT I saw it...but I also kept feeling the HS's to see if they were warm.

Naw the room is around 65-70F. I dunno what the deal is. My case is open and the metal of the case is cool to the touch. The only thing even slightly warm is a single 3870 (after benchmarking) and the ram and the NB, but not even hot, just a bit warm.
