Don't worry too much about those temps. My 920 has been at 4.0ghz at 1.24 volts for over a year 24/7 and it idles in the high 40 range. It ran that hot with the current push\pull setup with a Xigmatek, and with a Coolit ALC unit. I tried to reseat it multiple times but it made no difference. It is 100% stable so I don't worry about it anymore.
