What are good comfortable temps for this kind of config proc?
Ever since i got my computer about 3months ago, it's always been running at or under 35 while playing. Now some days the temps jump up to 40 (seen this a few times), I live in Arizona. So my question is, what's a good temp before i start freaking out that my proc is over heating?

Proc is air Nuctua cooled only.

I have the same air cooler...running all 8 threads at 100% CPU
24/7 with ambient room temperature of 72 degrees F gives me
an average temp of 74 degrees C with a max of 77 measuring
with RealTemp 3.4.0.  Running [email protected].
 
85 or less for long term.....90 o.k. short term....brought my temps down 10 degrees C by adding three fans, 2 blowing in cool air and one pulling out
hot....haven't tried other combos yet.
 
Cheers.Ouch

85c is the max you want, but remember load temps are the only ones that matter.
