80C and below

[Praxeology]

What do you think of 80C and below for 965 black edition for temps. I run 65 @ 4.2ghz lots of times and it goes up a bit, maybe 70c it peeks. How beefy is the am3 chips>?

Well, they're rated at 62C for the max. But manufactures overrate the max temps....though I'd say 80C is much too high.

Over-rate or under?

Under rate. Sorry!
