    Prime 95 reads 64 degrees C on Test 50... Too Hot?

    I'm really afraid this is too much.... I'm running my 2.66 at 150 FSB at 3010 ghz with a ThermalTake Volcano 7+ on the HIGH setting, along with Arctic Silver 3....Yeah, it got all the way up to test 50, but from 40-50 the temps are 62-64 and rising... I heard Abit boards are notorious for reporting temps alot higher than they actually are, so is my BG 7 the same? This is very very scary! Everything seems very very stable though..no lock ups or anything while gaming, SuperPI, or Prime 95 (up to test 50). I'm thinking perhaps I didn't add enough Artic Silver 3 to the CPU? I just put the AS3 on on wednesday, so maybe it hasn't broken in yet? I'm not really sure, hehe. i just want to know if this is safe or not. thanks
