You really want a thermalright 120 extreme or Ultima-90 with agood fan to handle the temps - even then they can only handle so much. I wont take my volts above 1.45v. On current settings I idle 35c and prime 61c. If you want to consider lapping check HS and IHS with a razor first - if they are already flat there will be little gain. If one is uneven do it. This is as good a guide as any - http://www.thetechrepository.com/sho...hlight=lapping I used it when I did my old E6600 - use black wet and dry sandpaper(dont use water like some suggest).
JumperFree Configuration Settings
AI Overclocking: Manual
CPU Ratio Control: Manual
Ratio CMOS =8
FSB Frequency: 450 - will give you higher BUS speed
PCI-E Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: start 1:1 on 900 until stable - ballistix 8500C5 should run DDR2-1125 okay with tight subtimings of 3,30,3,3,8 on 2.2v
DRAM Timing Control: Manual
CAS# Latency: 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay: 5
RAS# Precharge: 5 ------ once stable try 4
RAS# Activate to Precharge: 15 -----once stable try 9
TWR: auto -----------once overclock stable try 3
TRFC: auto-----------once overclock stable try 30
TWTR: auto-----------once overclock stable try 3
TRRD: auto-----------once overclock stable try 3
TRTP: auto-----------once overclock stable try 8
DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
Transaction Booster: Auto
Clock Over-Charging Mode: Auto
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Voltage: start with 1.425 - may need slightly less or slightly more e.g .0125v either way. No more than 1.45v at most.
CPU Voltage Damper: Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.6 -- may be okay on 1.5 start with 1.6 and try once stable
DRAM Voltage: 2.2v if ballistix
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.4 --- Quads cores use FSB to communicate with each other.
North Bridge Voltage: 1.4
North Bridge Voltage Reference: AUTO
South Bridge Voltage: AUTO

CPU TM Function: Disabled

PECI: Enabled

USB Functions: Enabled
Legacy USB Support:enabled ---- to allow detection of USB flash drives coz u wont be using asus update for BIOS updates will you! NO - u will use EZflash witha USB flash drive cos U dont want a dead board from a failed BIOS update using Asus update like a lot of others who didnt pay attention. Me for one - which is why I now have a replacement Premium for my RMA'd dead Deluxe-lol!
