Ouch! That's one very sick processor (sick as in unwell, not sick as in "cool"/"wicked"/etc). No crashing is one good thing, but reasonable temps is another important one. You're running that at the thermal limit, not just close to it.I did a 15 minute Prime95 torture and with 100% load at 49 multiplier, temps spiked to 106 max with no crash.
Which Prime95 test was this? And what was the ambient temp when running this?
EDIT: "68*"? If you mean "68F" (20C) then (a) be consistent and use the same units throughout, and (b) a deltaC of 86C is definitely nothing to be proud of. If you meant 68C then how are you not dead?
That's not a claim I'd be proud of. My advice: get a better cooler, and/or reduce the multiplier and voltage.
