A question about overclocking temperatures.

I read that the athlon 64 is made to go up to 65c, and while overclocking I have gotten it very close, as in 62 or 63. I Have since turned it down so it iwll not go over 60.
I have a question about thermal throttling... It came default ON on my board, but at 70c, so I am wondering what is a safe temperature for my cpu to run at and if I should enable TT and at what temperature.

Ideally temps should be kept under 60C. You can go a few degrees higher, but I wouldn't risk it. At that temperature you may run into stability problems as well.
 
ok thank you, my case(Coolermaster praetorian) is horribly inefficient thermally(GFX cards idled at 82, 76 now), and I will have to invest in a watercooling system for it soon, apparently.
