Hi
I found on my motherboard the original Overclocked CPU in my Bios so I saved it then exited it is over clocked from 2.66 to 3.4 GHz the only problem is when I test it on prime95 the temps went up to 97c in 5 mins so i decided to lower the blk from 170 to 155 which helped a bit now its at 3.100 GHz but still hitting late 80's after 5mins. is this a acceptable temp under load for my CPU or should I just load default
Thanks
 
Yes i am using the stock cooler only and a couple of 120mm fans in my case
Turned the blk down to 150 seems a lot cooler now but still in the 70s when using prime95
