I was just looking to know if these are considered safe temps for this processor?

I'm at 1.3 volts (still fiddling around with the voltages :p) and I'm at 4.1GHz as stated above.

I should add that it's pretty hot where I am right now (not sure of the room temps exactly, but I'm sweating as I type this :lol:)

My idle temps are 50 celsius for the most part at the same room temperature.

Should I be concerned? Should I consider toning down my overclock until the weather cools down? Thanks in advance. :)

Forgot to mention that I am actually using an after-market cooler (Hyper T4) o_O
Hope that doesn't make these temps far worse :ouch:

Right now, my package temp is reading about 74 celsius (I'm running Dolphin in the background with a game playing if you want to know how), but my CPUTIN is reading 43 celsius, which seems ridiculously low for a 100W CPU. I guess I'll follow the package temp, then.

Oddly enough, my BIOS is also reading 43 celsius.

Something else I noticed is that the package temp may sometimes float down to around 58 celsius and then zip (yes, zip) away up to 74 celsius. It could be 53 celsius one second and 76 the next, even below stock.

Okay, so as soon as I posted that last bit, I checked HWMonitor again and saw that the max reported temperature was 255 celsius, and now I fear for my life [/sarcasm]. The CPUTIN, however, didn't move during that time, and even if it did, it didn't do so anywhere near as much.
