What are good overclock stress test temperatures?

[WimpyPete]

Hi guys, I'm doing my first attempt at over clocking and I am just wondering what temperatures I should be looking for on my stress test to know when I have achieved a safe but good overclock?

My CPU is i7 5960x, water cooled by H110i GTX. My power supply is EVGA 1300G2. I don't know if knowing my other parts is relevant or not.

I am using AIDA65 for the stress test. Temps have been maxing out at around 75C or so thus far...

Well in most cases you could get peaks up to 100°c but i would say a max of 80 but do you really need that much speed with a cpu like that!?

You should be aiming for less than 80°C when fully loaded with a real stress program. When gaming it should be less than that -- maybe 65°C or so.
