Hello, I'm running an i7-3930k overclocked to 4.5GHz at 1.44 Vcore on a GIGABYTE X79-UP4 with Corsair Carbide 400R. The setup includes stock fans and a 212 evo fan as the bottom intake, while most hard drive mounts are removed. During an Intel XTU stress test, the temperatures averaged around 66 degrees Celsius, with idle temps near 37 degrees Celsius. I'm using a Noctua NH-D15 with both fans and NT-H1 Thermal Paste. Clicking on my signature will take you to the CPU-Z page for my computer.

The temperatures are favorable. I don't have any concerns. The maximum temperature is 91c, which means the system will begin to reduce performance at that point. You should have sufficient margin.
