i just type this "yes > /dev/null" in terminal. like 15 terminal windows. i dont know if its an accurate way of stabilizing the overclock, but ive had no problems so far. i top out at 63C full load 4.0 GHz. i mainly use the hackintosh for video editing (8TB of HDD) which only tops around 50C when rendering videos. idling at 28C btw. varies from 26-30C depending on ambient temp.


I personally use mprime95 I think MSInfo does also

Your Temps look at par with ours
A smart friend of mine once told me the i7 has an internal thermal max/throttle down point of 102 degrees.

thanks
