Think thats a bit on the sore side of things for a 24/7 clock i'd say. What was it doing when hitting 70c though?

Ive had mine a hair off that (69 on 2 cores) when intel burn test was running, although the house was absolutely roasting at the time. I've yet to see it top 60degrees when gaming though.

was last night encoding cpus around 80-90% and my study was roasting

Personally i think it might be worth maybe adding another fan on your heatsink (for push/pull) to aid cooling just a smidge etc, assuming it isn't the stock cooler. I don't feel comfortable letting mine sit above low 60's for long periods of time

Each to their own though i suppose

its what most would consider high but well within safe limits

seems a bit high, got my q9550 at a lowly 3.4 for now using a true black cooler with 2 x 120mm akasa ambers and the stock thermalright chill factor 2 paste. ran prime 95 for 6 hours and the highest temp on any core was 48c using core temp 0.99.3

using artic cooler so push/pull maybe be hard ? anyone done it? room was very hot but my mind is on the summer and possible problems then
