E6600 Max temps?

[Born_2_Kill_83]

Did a search on this and to my surprise I couldnt find anything
What are safe max temps for a E6600 to idle and cook at underload without doing any actual damage to the chip?
I'm running a Asus Silent Knight overclocking@ 3.2(400*8) idles 52*C underload 66*C.

I've got an E6600 clocked at 3150 (see sig) and at idle it's 43 and under heavy Supreme Commander load it's 48 and that is in a hot room. On colder days at lower overclocks it's 37 and 44. I had to sneak the voltages up a twitch past stock to keep it stable at 3150, but heat definitely isn't my problem.

I would say as long doesnt go over 70c max but even thats a bit high say 65ish.

Orthos remember are your max temps and a lot of things wont stress the CPU as much as orthos does so they are your max temps so to speak, on orthos i try to stay under 70c load although currently overclocked to 3GHz and sitting around 37c idle and 50-55 load.
