My i5 3450 runs at about 74C under 100% load. While I'm sure that isn't the best seeing as I have a stock cooler, are those numbers safe? I read on the Intel website the case temp is aroiund 67.1 C, but I saw a forum rep for Intel mention that even if in software your CPU is reading 80C, it's fine. Is this true? Should I worry about 74C?

You should not be to worried about it since it is 100% load although higher than i like to see.

Monitor your temps in a few games and see what you get.

I like to see around 60c for a max in gaming.
