I was running 1.525v in the BIOS on my E6600 with a EP35-DS3 just to keep it stable at 3.2 GHz. Pretty high vcore for the speed but the temps were very reasonable on my SI-128. I guess my L644G just loves the volts, but my DS3 has pretty nasty vdroop too.

E6750/1.41v/3600mhz here.This is the best compromise between spped and vcore for me.I've had it to 4ghz but the vcore is a little high for 24/7 use.

Temps about 34-36c idle/mid 50's max.
 
-E8500
-4ghz(500 x 8)
-1.30625 BIOS with Loadline enabled = 1.288 for idle and load in windows
-Zalman Reserator XT/WB-5 CPU Loop only 34c idle/49c load

Ambient ranges from 25c-29c(gets 100+ here during day sometimes)

Right so I'm going to chime in with the worst of the lot... :(
- E4300
- 2.4 Ghz
- 1.12 Idle, 1.28 Load
- 32c Idle, 50c full load

I really need to get a better hs&f and ram.....
