Well the only thing I can depend on is the Overall CPU Temp, and since with 3 cores its about 9C over what my cores report I just go off of that.

What are the highest safe temps for the 720BE? I heard it was 55C.

I've heard a few things for the highest safe temps for the 720, but with what ive seen the number i believe most is 73'c is the point of no return

I'd say you COULD go above 73C but not for long periods.

Best 4 core OC so far at 3.36GHz (210x16). 40gflops (up from ~29gflops at stock). EasyTune6 can detect the temperature (although probably not very accurate). Peaked at around 53C.

I'm so happy with this chip. Mobo + chip for $250. You can't beat that.

Grats OP!

If you are at all concerned about voltages (like I am) and don't want to chance anything (I'd rather not be running at 1.52v for years) then get PhenomMsrTweaker; lets you keep the CoolnQuiet features and set your own controls for it.
When idling my processor is at 1.04V and 2.2Ghz.
