Noeru, great work! you have greatly inspired me on my first water cooled system. I am also using the i7-980x. Obviously the lower the better, but in your opinion (or anyone who could ring in on this) what would you consider the highest core temps you would feel safe for a 24/7 overclock (assuming stable)?

Currently I'm @ 4.3 GHz. I haven't run any overnight tests yet, but after 10 minute small FFT torture tests, my hottest single core temp maxed at 77 at some point, but running average of all six is 72.

And when running Prime95 torture test, which is it best to run? Small FFTs (ram not tested much), In-place large FFTs (max heat, some ram tested), or Blend (lots of ram tested)?
