Operton 165 - Max Recommended Temps

[Chronictank]

Got a bit of free time (finally), so i am planning to tweak my opty a bit
What is the max temp under full load & passive do you recommend to work for?

I am a very cautious oc'er so tend to try my best to stay below 50oC full load on all my cpu's.

Thanks in advance

not sure about 165's but i'd only start getting worried if mine started passing 55c, had it up to 57 before but not for long....
