| | Anything below 80c is fine for the i7 870, if you plan to go high just be mindful of your cooling setup. |

| | If it's stable, and cooling is sufficient, whether you are willing to push it depends on your ability to replace it if you push too far. I truly believe that the performance gain beyond that will be negligible, it's more about crowing rights with a high overclock. A Guy |

| | thank's for all the input guys, the reason i wanted to push it a little more is to get a 50% overclock out of it. i'm almost there at 46.9% but maybe i'll just leave it at that. anyway thank's again scrooge |
