Download and install Prime95 (which basically stresses your processor and tests for stability) from here;

Be sure to leave the test running for as long as possible, and monitor your temperatures whilst you test.

Your idle temps seem OK, how high in the 60's do your temps go?

I have a Freezer 7 Pro and a Q6600 @ 2.9Ghz (Wont go any higher; DAMN mobo! lol) and I idle at around 33/c and work under load at 45/c.

What is your ambient temp and is your case airflow good?

Mid 60s, if its kept on the load it just barely hits 70

Load temp seems a bit high, but you are OCing after all. I'd say you're fine honestly.

What kind of heatsink you using on your CPU? Is it seated properly and what kind of thermal paste are you using?

And the temps of the cores range from 51-67c. but as long as it's not going into the 80s/90s, im good , right?

Just make a profile in CCC and save it. After you do that, you can edit the xml file. The xml file will have the same name as the profile you created in CCC.

Where are the profiles saved to, in default? they aren't in the users directory.

Crysis doesn't play nice with Crossfire. You might see a frame or two extra, but Crysis does not work with Crossfire properly.RayvinAzn

Oh, ok, thanks bro.

Did you connect the 2 cards with a Crossfire bridge ?

Did you enable Crossfire in Catalyst Control Center ?

The profile name in CCC is whatever you decide, it doesn't have to be Bretware.

matrixian

Yes, yes, and how?
