Your temps are fine but you should update your Realtemp to the new version 3.0.

If you fail linpack testing I doubt you're stable. If you are thinking that IBT will break something then your CPU is way too hot. my q6600 is clocked at 3.4 with 26-7c idle ( idles don't mean anything ) and around 58-60c load..I ran 25 runs with ibt and was stable. Ran prime95 blend and failed.. that was my mem being unstable. clocked down mem and now i'm 100% stable.
Reseat your heatsink, reapply your thermal compound properly..usually a line across the cpu will do the trick.
I'm guessing your VID is lower than mine by the vcore you're using for 3.6

I agree... Prime95 is better. You should see temps around 30C to 60C, especially when overclocking. just be careful... don't be too anxious to go big... always little steps when overclocking for the first time.

Use Rivatuner... you can monitor your temps with the Core2 plugin and monitor you GPU as well. Not to mention the easy overclocking and fan abilities for your GPU.

but I also know that my OC is stable and I am nowhere close to the max temp. All I'm saying is it will cost you nothing to reseat the HSF. Only take a few minutes and who knows you could drop 10-15 degrees. Never hurts to be safe.
