thats odd; i have been running perfectly stable speeds and temps with my (mATX) home rig...
mATX case with side removed Asus Rampage III Gene mobo Corsair XMS3 running at 1600Mhz or higher i7 950 at 3.78 or 3.88 Ghz Corsair H50 water/air cooler 80mm fans blowing onto the northbridge and southbridge 80mm fans blowing across a 4 2.5" RAID0 array 58C on the southbridge is my highest temp running prime95 for 5 hours. |

I spoke a tad soon there. I had to set the CPU fan to always spin at full speed in order to achieve this level of performance. With the CPU fan speed set in the motherboard BIOS to the default AUTO, the CPU temperature increased by nearly 10°C - to nearly 70°C. The small amount of silence I gained (since the motherboard's northbridge fan emits a constant high-pitched whine) could not make up for the significant increase in CPU temperature.
