I was wondering what a good idle temp would be for the i5-750. At a 3.4 OC i'm running about 30-35c on idle, and after a quick 10 minute session of Prime95 it hit about 60c-ish range under 100% load.

Is this normal? Is it safe? haha I'm somewhat new to overclocking, so I'll turn it down if those are too high. Thanks.
And just for fun, the windows game test.

Any tips or suggestions with OC'ing are welcome. Or any other comments thanks.
