    You can prolly push into the 75+ range (although Ive encountered cases of 95+ with no permanent damage). As a general guideline, try not to go in excess of a 30°C jump from cold boot temp to stressed-OC'd temp and you should be fine. If you do, consider a new cooling solution. :)

    95 is a good stress temp.
