Yeah, it is nice that I finally got closer to my air clocks, but I just can't figure out what's going on now to keep me from getting any higher stable. I have a feeling it might be something around the cpu that doesn't like the cold rather than the cpu, I felt to the side of the mount towards the ram and the board was cold, but I dunno if that means anything. My last tricks to try are going to be lowering the nb and ht-link, but I don't think it'll work, although increasing the ht voltage did help stability a slight bit at 259, got me to the 3rd iteration of 8k instead of the second. I am going to put the 9500 under before I switch back to air, its just that I use the XP-90c with the vantec tornado, and 50 dba is not pleasant sounding, which is why I bought the vapo in the first place. Cold temps, future proof, and can be made relatively quiet. I wish I had more voltage readings, would make everything a heck of alot easier tweaking-wise.
