What are you using for cooling? I've noticed core temp is touching 70C at full load, since Win7 was optimised for the FX-81xx processors.  

Mild overclock to 4.2 ghz with artic cooler 7.

I use the Artic Cooling Freezer 13Pro on the 8120. It's on a linux box (@100% on all cores) but I think CPU temperatures are being reported incorectly as they peak at around 40C at stock speeds. You need a large case for it though.

I also have a X4 965 Black with the Freezer 7 in my Win7 box, not too sure on temp but I thiink it hits 50C max last time I monitored.
