HankScorpio raised a good point in another thread about temperatures, which I thought would be useful to share our experiences.

For instance, my machine was at 67 C for each core and about 75 for the GPU before yesterday. Now it is at about 73-75 C for each core and 80 for the GPU.

I still believe this is within the safe temperature levels, but I'm not sure as to the upper limit for both CPU and GPU.

I haven't completely tweaked my overclock voltage yet so I may be able to bring it down a bit, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make on voltages.
 
I've just lowered my clock down to 3.8 @ 1.1v and its come down to the temps I had before, so hopefully it won't lose much PPD :)
