Right now I'm testing it at 2.8GHZ 1.275V, see if it holds for a couple of weeks without giving me any trouble. Then I will probably lower it to 1.250v and do the same trial and error.Which values you set to make it work?
Almost 15 hours and still runing on blend test. When room temp was lowered after midnight test temp were 54-55c. I think that this is pretty much stable. Do I need to run some other test?
Also I looked at this thread and I am totally confused how he can maintain stable OC with those settings and getting high temp with lower voltage and with same cooler as mine.

I use F@H for system wide stability and heat testing. It will utilize CPU and GPU's to 100% which will show fairly quickly if you get heat build up in your case.
Will i have better performance while playing games if i set OC to 3.8 Ghz and NB frequency to 2600 Mhz or with 4 Ghz and NB frequency on 2400 Mhz?
Depends on the game in my experience, for example I get no performance increase in "World of Tanks" but I do in "Battlefield 3". But in general, yes, you will.
Well you did not clearly said which OC is better
This is where your experimenting will tell the real tale. Every setup is different, what works for me may not be the best for you. Testing on the games you play is the best way to find out.Will i have better performance while playing games if i set OC to 3.8 Ghz and NB frequency to 2600 Mhz or with 4 Ghz and NB frequency on 2400 Mhz?
If you're running less V Core at 3.8 and don't notice the difference between 3.8 and 4.0 I'd do 3.8.
