WOW Intel is serious about their temp specifications

I'm currently running 3.5Ghz on my chip that I was previously only able to get to 3.4Ghz. I bought a 133CFM fan (scythe ultra kaze) and bumped my voltage up to 1.54 in bios (1.512 in CPU-z) and immediately sent the processor to 3.5Ghz and I'm already 5 minute Orthos small stable--

previously I was only 5 seconds Orthos stable-- the time it took for my CPU to hit ~75-76C, just outside of Intel's maximum specifications for my e2180, 73.2C.

Now for 3.6!

Are those core temps or BIOS CPU temps? If they are BIOS temps, then what are the core temps.

those are junction temps

Oh, I meant to say it brought my temps from 74 down to 66 max. I've got it to 3.53Ghz currently.
