what is the threshold? ive got mine overclocked to 2.4 and at max usage it hits 42 c on a 7alman 7700. if i crank up my fan controller it gets it down to 38-39. at idle its 32 c. just wanted to make sure this was ok. I decided to go with a quite solution.
 
that sounds resonable to me iv been able to get a 3800 X2 up to 2.6 from the only one iv had the chance to tinker with and it was using the same 7700 at about the same temps..

which 107deg F is not that hot so I wouldnt worry about it imo


btw I used an Antec AN8 SLI and Corsair 2gb pc3200 XMS at 2-2-2-5 2T
 
55 is probably what most people on this forum will say they wont go over, in truth... 60 is probably about as hot as you would ever want to stay since you never know how much over that it might spike in a bad situation (hot day, dead fan, etc...)
