well, intel says 100c max... I see people's loads in the 90s on air at 4ghz and beyond... that's too high for me. I am going to try and keep mine under or at 75c with a 22c ambient .. so then if the ambient goes up I have some headroom.. because in the summer my office becomes a damn kiln.. might need to get a portable AC unit in there finally... if this Jan is any indication as to what summer will be like we're in for a scorcher. :o

in other news, I hope to get to pushing my board one of the nights this week but have been gaming a lot in the evenings since I got it installed. I am going to shoot for 18x200 with mem @ 1600 for the next tier.. I know it's lower than most of you guys OC, but it will be plenty fast for me.

I have run my 965 right up to 100C and not crash on multiple occasions. The i7 is surprisingly stable at very high temps. Running the cpu at 90+ over extended periods? only time will tell. I would think 80's should be fine, 90's for occasional spikes - on air - with cpu v aT 1.55V - this is typical -
