Had the NB multi at 6 and HT link at 1.2 at the time i think, will have to go back and check the OC profile to be sure since as excited as i was to see that clock, was a little scared of hearing something either go "pop" or just have the thing shut down with the other voltages i was running.

Also figured i'd throw in a pic of base of the heatsink with IR temp, with 1.5250v from AOD which puts actual voltage closer to 1.55 thats with a 10 minute 100% load across all 4 cores running 3.9ghz
Man that is one beefy heatsink...

Even if that is not stable, 39C at the base of the cooler with that voltage and clock pretty much says the phenom II runs pretty cool with a big OC. What was ambient at the time? I might be able to estimate processor heat output if I have that - there is enough data on dualOrb to estimate C/W number.
