Probably extreme benchers (ln2, dry ice) that would be using that much, or people who wanted to vote for something rediculous

Around 55C. Been a while since I've sat there and worked the CPU over. Also have GPU in loop.

man I simply cannot deal with putting more than 1.4v core on my q6600 in bios, makes in uneasy for some reason. so Im running it at 1.34v @ 3.240Ghz.

Temperature: 51C Load using prime 95 small/large FFT and IBT stress level 2
Cooling: Xigmatek S1283V Dark Knight with retention bracket using antec 300 case

I could probably go higher with the Q6600, only thing is my board is holding me back. My board can't seem to go past 400 FSB with no chip no matter what. I've tried lowering multi and going higher than 400FSB but crashes instantly or keeps restarting post. Could be the board is defective, it was an Open box P43 Gigabyte from newegg.
 
Q9450 @ 3.8Ghz 1.33v.

This poll is just.....not right. Those are all completely different chips and their voltage limits and 24/7 settings are not even close. Oh well.
