What are acceptable temperatures for an E6600 under stress? Thanks!

65C as measured by coretemp, 70C if you wanna push it.
65C is regarded as a conservative very safe max core temp under load.
A VERY conservative max temp number is 65C via coretemp and one a lot of us use as the datasheet for the c2ds specify a max case (at the top center of the IHS) of 65C. Since coretemp is reading inside the chip, in the core itself where it is hotter than outside on the top of the heat spreader, 65C internal is very safe,

I just bought a new system with a E6600 and it was idling around 34-39 degrees (depended on what time of day it was because sun comes through and heats the room up).
My video card was DOA so I haven't gotten to stress it yet. Although, I did about 10 minutes of OCCT and it got up to around 46 or 47 degrees. *shrugs* I haven't gotten to stress it yet.
