How much higher could you get with cooling and what where your load temps?

Writes to HD by SuperPi are being denied which is adding latency/wasting clock cycles because until that data is written the calculation doesn't move on. Out of 37,xxx events a minimum of 500 (v.reserved there) were write failures and another 500 were just rewrite attempts. Why? The reason given was "too fast I/O". See below for what I mean:
You might try running it from a ramdisk.
