    75 degrees is ok. You won't see errors - assuming you are overclocking, you are just watching temps and checking that the system is stable.

    The 920 will automatically shut down around 105 degrees. As a rule of thumb I would aim to keep temps at load under 85 degrees.

    Did you turn hyperthreading off? The scores do look a bit on the low side. Are you running CPU-Z to confirm the CPU frequency?
