e6600@ 3.0ghz seems very conservative....No at worst cpu is not on the way out but degrading and I highly doubt this at 1.38v and 3000mhz....
Yes it was at 333x9 w/ 1.38v. CPU was mostly sitting at 2.0ghz (not much load). Temps are usually about 47c idle (always seemed high to me btw, but I figure as long as it's under 60, I'm happy). It was Orthos stable at 1.38 for hours... but no longer. At that voltage Orthos would fail instantly or the system would crash. Wish I knew why!

I have a 40mm fan over my NB as well... and a big case with 120mm fans.
