Wow that's a heck of a chip. I also noticed something a bit weird for my perspective. To get up to 4Ghz+ you were raising the NBvid? Even though your NB speeds were not going up? So NBvid was helping hit a higher CPU clock? I have been keeping my NB volts LOWER, hoping to keep the total heat lower. I have been stuck at 3.9Ghz on my 955, perhaps I should give my NB more volts and see if I can hit the magic 4Ghz for 24/7.

My idle temps are just a bit under 40c I don't know why my chip is so warm, I use water cooling and it's lapped and still that warm. Load is mid 50's with my NB volts being lowered, so I am sure if I do raise it, then my temps will skyrocket into unstable territory.

Well again nice chip congrats
