I know there are plenty of threads on this but they all seem to have conflicting information... this is my first post here so go easy on me guys :D

The Rig:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 @ 4GHZ
Gigabyte 970A-UD3 AM3+
Gigabyte Windforce 6850 OC @ 950/1200
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB @ 1600mhz
Hitachi 1TB 6.0gb/s SATA
Antec EarthWatts EA-650
Antec 300 Illusion Case

My 955 @ 4ghz (1.425v) is idling at around 45C and with Prime95 and Folding@home basic running I hit around 64-66C (With a chrome browser and some other random stuff running.) Do these temps seem alright to you guys? I played BF3 last night, and also ran Prime95 while playing WoW and the setup seemed to be stable, just not sure if the 66C heavy load / 45C idle is high for this proc at 4ghz. It is the RB-C3 stepping btw.

Thanks for any input!

Temp running BF3 appears to be between 49C and 55C with other random apps running (Chrome, etc...) I reduced my voltage to 1.35v however and now I am running Prime 95 at 59C stable.
