Pc overclocking...

You're using all the wrong tools. Use OCCT v3 's LinPack test for CPU stability. It gets REALLY REALLY HOT, almost 20 degrees C more than Prime95 @ 100%.

I am going to run a stress test today at stock speeds just to see how hot my CPU temps get. I idle around the high 20C and low 30C's. And with a 60-70 load, I get around 37C, so I think with a full 100% load, I should see around 47Cish. So it will leave a lot of room for overclocking, and I will be using the EasyTune to overclock, as its meant for my board, and has been proven to be stable by Gigabyte.
