my temps idle @ 51-53C it went up to 57C while doing 3dmark06

i did run prime95 but temps were hitting up to 90C didnt fail but i was worried so i stopped after 15 min

i am wondering if my temps dont go past 65C while gaming am i safe to leave it
any advice is appriciated
my first oc with i7 so i am still new to this.
 
You are safe.

You should be able to keep it stable at even lower cpu voltage - see how low you can go.
It will lower temps too.
 
hey i got one more question if u got time
i am a little bit confused about the ram
the uncore multi and the mem core
i have ddr1600 ram , i did up the voltage to 1.6
and changed the timings to 9-9-9-24 but when i check cpu-z still doesnt show it running as ddr1600

OP used the "report post" button to post this reply. Moved to here instead.
