For 24/7 temps, like folding, I wouldn't go above 65, but I'm pretty conservative when it comes to temps. As long at it doesn't stay at 75-80, it's fine. What's your voltages like?
Those temps look fine, though a bit high. What about the i7 at idle?
ok so maybe i need to lower my OC. i am at a 1.32vcore

If it were my chip I'd try to keep it at or below 65C. Mine's running at 58C right now so I'm going to dial up the OC a bit next week when my fans get here.
