60s if you dont overclock. i was getting 70 + on a well vented case(0ced.) im using a xigamax, it fits over the stock system however it prevents you from using the adjacent pci-e slot. same conditions i was getting 52c instead of 72c And there was a noticeable stability advantage when above 180 bclock when keeping the nb below 70c
