1. Since we're also investigating the fan performance, it would be great if you recorded the fan speed too. You can do that with AIDA64 or HWMonitor.
2. Thermal throttling of the CPU starts at 93C, so that's the highest you want it to get. If you're reach or get really close to the throttling threshold, you should probably consider an exchange/RMA. I exchanged mine and my temps went from 90-93C to 83-85C. There's also problem with the fan profile that is causing the fans to not run at max speed so temps should be reduced once that is patched. My GPU hits around 70C running this test.
3. Small FFT
4. 15-20 minutes should be fine.
5. Use the "GPU Stress Test" and run it at the same time as Prime95.
Post your results in the sticky thread. Since we're investigating the fans too, it would be great if you monitored your fans speeds with AIDA64 or HWMonitor.
