i ran my 3.2c at 65C load on my xp-120 i dont think you have to worry
your memorys killing you, get good memory, the 2.4c's esp need awsome memory

Idle temps don't matter worth a damn.
Load temps look good. I have my 2.4C @ only 2.75GHz, my ASUS board reads 40-42 depending on ambient temps. You shouldn't have to worry until the high 50s, maybe 60s but that's too hot for my taste.

thanks guys for the answers i was looking for, yeah my computer during load time runs about 35-41c depending on applications being used.
