ahh i googled.. and many ppl have the same temp readings.. normal i guess.. I set the speed back to stock (2.8) and re-pasted the CPU, the temps dropped a few degree's (36-42C idle) about 10 degree's
many ppl run the same cpu between 20 and 30C under load and others same problem as me.
but max temp for it is 73C.. lol thats a large window.
from 17C to 73C, that puts me right in the middle

BTW i use the stock AI OC (10% max) coz I fried a CPU trying to do it manually and this CPU aint cheap.
tried to use the AMD overdrive and it says "AMD OverDrive cannot detect AMD 7 series chipset on this computer" the chipset is 750a SLI.. tried in all 3 OS's same result/error.
