I hope you guys are using something like Coretemp to check your core temperatures

My i7 950 on twin fan Megahalems cooler is o/c to 4GHz and CoD is loading Core 1 to about 70% and around 85C (Max recommended by Intel is 73 but I won't worry below 90). I did have it at 4.2GHz but a 100% load Prime test rocketed it over 100C where I chickened out

I don't know what the cores will be loaded like once CoD multicore has been optimised.
