Mine idles @ 50c or so, what does yours idle at?

I have mine running at 4037MHz at the moment, 8.5 X 475 and the highest core is at 45c, however it is 8AM and still quite cool.

In florida our ambient temps are getting high here now, I have AC in the house @ 76F degrees. but mine is about 5c higher than yours still.

I think the new DTek V2 block with the Quad Core plate will probably do a better job than the old one, but I would not expect more than a couple of degrees. Are you running separate loops with those rads?

I have two loops one for is CPU then NB, Other is for two 8800Ultra cards, both have a 120.3 and D5 on them. all with half inch tubing. and 250ML res.
NB stays around 33c to 36c depending on temps in my house.

Well i think i´ve made some progress...
After several hours of testing, i found some quite simple settings, that until now(fingers crossed), are working quite well for me!
I was previously running my QX9650 at 1400QDR and 1800Mhz memory as i was unable to go further without BSOD, freezes, or messages in boot saying files are missing or corrupt...

Here are my settings now:

1800QDR running LINKED and SINKED (450FSB)
Multiplier 8.5 = 3825Mhz (I think i will be able to raise the multiplier more but i haven´t tested)
Memory timings 7-7-7-18 1T
P1 ENABLED
P2 ENABLED
VCORE - 1,33125V (set in BIOS)
Load Line Calibration - DISABLED
VDIMM - 1,86v (set in BIOS)
NB - 1,40v
SB - 1,55v
GTL ref 0 -29
GTL ref 1 -32
GTL ref 2 -32
GTL ref 3 -29
All spread spectrums DISABLED
All the other settings where left AUTO
BIOS 0603

With this settings i was able to run PRIME95 stable for 2 hours then i manualy interrupt, run SUPER PI 1M and 32M several times without errors and 3 loops of 3DMARK06..
During MAX LOAD in PRIME95 my cores reached a maximum of 49ºC mesured with REALTEMP (I´m on aircooling with TUNIQ TOWER)
I shut down and restarted several times and everything was just fine, no freezes no BSOD!
I will post some screenshots later...

NOTE - My memory (Cellshock BLUE 1866MHZ) or mobo are very sensitive to memory voltage settings!!! Going below 1.86 to 1.80 result in errors during post saying files are missing or corrupt(no matter how many times i restart!!). Raising the voltage from 1,86v to 1,90v results in BSOD during post!! (no matter how many times i restart!!)
