So I am running a q9650 exteme, kept this chip for a while sold off a few i7 systems i had and kept this baby just love my set up don't plan on upgrading my computer until i can get an 8-core cpu, I mostly do daily netting and programming on my desktop. Play some games two but my crossfire 4850 crunches out cyrsis at ultra hi around 40fps so i have no gaming gripes. Just wish i could find a volt mod that worked with my damn non refrence cards so i would have a reason to water cool those puppies too.
Anyways i like to Over-Clock for for fun nice to see chrome open instantly and windows 7 boot lighting fast! Also love beating my own benching if i had money to spend id love to do real benching competitions. Anyways i lost all my oc setting along time ago but i remember i had a hard time getting to 4ghz back then too.
Recently i set up an insane water external water cooling loop that is cpu only! But I am still sanded by my results. Here is a picture of the loop, I hope its not confusing tried to make it neat as possible with paint and cell phone pictures, two lazy to install photoshop since im going to reformat again once i get my max daily OC.

And here is a picture of my results, I am going to go ahead and post the link to the screen shot it is to big to post here with out being rude and it still being readable. Screen shot of allot of junk running! (http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m195/boorishid/screencap.jpg) Ok first of all when you look at Real-Temp it says my max temps, those were while running Intel Burn in Lin-pack testing, there in the 70s (don't really like that). The current temperature Real-Temp is showing is while doing Small FTT's in prime 95, I am assuming those are allot closer to real life scenarios right? I idle in the low 40's and my ambient is somewhere between 70-75f maybe even 80f. Do these temps seem fine for everyday use on a 45nm chip?
Im actually trying to push to about 4.2 to 4.4 dunno if ill get there. My vcore is at 1.392 (intel recommends 1.362vcore i believe wondering how much i can really push it for a daily) with LLC turned on, the only other voltage ive touched in my MCH(North Bridge) Haven't messed with any of the the PLL, Term Voltages, or Reference voltages. Don't really understand them to much, i think everything else is on auto. Basically i stared out with a multiplier of 6 and ramped my fsb up to 500mhz while keeping the ram locked into to stock settings, and kept stability testing with Burn it and prime for about 12 hour sessions till i found the right voltage. MCH is 1.26. Im thinking of maxing the vcore at 1.45 to hit my goal is this going to be safe with my cooling, is reverse migration gonna dump my cpu down to one year running it that hi most likely?
btw some of the stuff twords the wall that looks like hosing is acually wire wrap
Anyways this is far from 100% stability tested but its the closest ive gotten so far will do more testing and tweaking later. I really want to hit 4.3 at least what is the max core temps i should hit safely 75 and would those temps
be better off being read from the linpack test or prime95?
One more question i wasnt seeing any temp diff whats so ever with the deltas on the bonnie core at 3.6 but would it make a difference to maybe put them back on at these hi of voltages? And how about lapping my cpu, i use to do this but didnt wanna ruin the warranty on the qx9650 (think im over it now though), Ive heard you should not lap these Apogee GTX water block right, because they are bowed to touch the all four cores of the cpu in the perfect way?
