U're right , i set -10 in CoreTemp, it's ok now...are my temp ok under load...?...i have about 60c OCCT at high and 65-66 at low...orthos it's a bit higher...

We have roughly the same temps. Before lapping, I suggest running load with your case open and a fan blowing into it You could lower temps more than 5c if you have poor case ventilation. I added a stronger rear exhaust fan and organized cables better, with around 5c improvements.

EDIT: if you are still concerned..... I feel 100% safe if load temps typically stay around 65c an lower, system temps 60c and lower. There is no reason to feel these are dangerous temps.

I never break 60c when playing crysis.... and Prime and Folding keep it sub 60c with spikes in the low 60s now and then
