I'm about to install my NH-D14 and do a new round of overclocking... I think I'm going to go as far as under 1.5v vcore and under 100C will take me... ?
Getting stable at temperatures higher than 85C will be very hard. Not to mention running the chip at 80C+ (under load) daily will kill it in a short while for sure.
Stick to 95C as absolute max for LinX imo, 90 if you want to play it safe and ensure your CPU's long life.
