Couple things:
IC7 reports temps higher than other boards, about 10C degrees higher on average than other boards. 40C idle and 60C load is perfectly fine for an IC7.
If you are trying to OC to 3.7ghz, and the computer reboots, you may need to up the vcore a little. Try it at 1.7v. That is a fairly safe threshold provided you have good air cooling. Load temp should stay under 70C.
