I am not crazy! I was somewhere in the settings and saw an actual temperature! Not sure if it was the video card or the CPU, but something was 49 degrees I think. Now I cannot find it again to save my soul!! Anyone know where I was?
Might have been, I still can't find it. So I D/L Core Temp and attached a screenshot. I'm running Einstein@home and these temps are at 100% use. Am I okay? It's amazing how much hotter it's running while doing the calculations on those things! Before, I could hardly hear the fan running, now it's a lot more noticeable.

I am using the socket 775 version of this.....
My process os a quad core which is stock 2.4 and is overclocked to 3.15ghz.
It is staying about 45-50 c under load :)
Just a question out of curiosity: I see TjMax is set to 99C !!
Is the i7 capable of resisting those temperatures? (mind you 99C is almost the boiling point of water).
