Agreed - getting over 60C is approaching the limits, and considering it's not the middle of summer yet, then when things get warmer, that 60C could turn into 65-70C degrees, which is nearing frying time.
 
Thanks guys. Now If I were to get a CPU cooler, lets say the IFX-14 for kicks. Would I be able to get 3.0 or higher? The HTT settings on there wont let me go past 3.0, does that mean its all my mobo can handle?
 
If your board can't handle HTT speeds high enough to take you past 3.0 ghz, then you are limited by the board. Whether or not the extra 300 mhz is worth it is up to you, but I doubt you'd need an IXF-14 to get there . . . wouldn't hurt though.
