Here are the current results. After running idle for 3 hours (at 3.8 Ghz-with the fans on 100%) CPU temp 36 (on max core). Gpu temp 34. Water temp 23*. Ambient case temp 21*
CPU Voltage: 1.25
QPI/DRAM Core: 1.25 (I could likely go lower, but at these temps should I even care???)
IOH Voltage: 1.3 (this is a must)
DRAM bus voltage: 1.66
Set multiplier to 20 and BLCK to 190
Memory loosened to 9-9-9-24
Going to bump the BLK up to 200 and check it again at idle. If still happy then I'll run some stress tests (prime95 small and LinX).... it turns out I had 2 problems...
1) using voltages geared for the CO, not the DO... I should have trusted my gut and used good old trial and error rather than baseline off of an old guide... oops.
2) having comodo installed which was running all the processor threads at near max... this was a PAIN to uninstall too.
After a 24 hour stress at 4 gigs... I'll see what the temp is... I want to back off the fans to maintain 75* at max heat load (for noise concerns... near silence is key).
Thanks again for all of the help!
