could very well hit 100C... depending on the air pressure of the area, and his case's ventilation, the chip could hit temps, and honestly its not going thermal and shutting down, so i dont think the chip is defective... chips have a wide 'operating voltage' and you can dial in on that, as well as under, he has room to play, and honestly the chip may just be set to the top of the operating voltage...had that happen with the TL-60 with RMClock, when it was first installed in the system, it was set to a 'baseline default' of 1.17v Vcore, i dialed it down to around 1V and it has been perfectly happy since... hell after hearing how hot that intel i7s hit with the stock cooler, im fairly sure there is nothing wrong with the chip, and honestly i havent heard of many cpu's being defective from the factory...at least in my experience, quality control at AMD and Intel is quite good...
im fairly sure if i ran the phenom ii 955 at 1.4v vcore at the stock clockrate, with the stock heatsink, and loaded it heavily, it would hit high 80s and 90s...so i dont see why a 130W cpu would not hit nearly 100C
