I've been running my Q9650 (1.15 VID) @ 4.02GHz w/ 1.22v + LLC enable for the past 3 months with TRUE + S-Flex F @ 1500rpm without overheat or BSOD. Air is possible for 4GHz, but I am on the edge in terms of max temp. That's why I just bought an Ultra Kaze for it... still testing but I think this will at least save me from going water for awhile...
