I have an AMD PhenomII x4 965. I dont know the name of my case but it is a gaming case. My CPU is air cooled via a Thermaltake Contac 29. If I had to overclock it what temp would I be looking at just to be safe ?
 
Max 55 degrees C at FULL load. If you can though; keep it around 50... Or less. Run Intel Burn Test for 5-10 passes and check your temperatures.. If they hit 50+ already; I wouldn't try to OC just yet..
