Help building new system...

i got mine running 13x231=3003 at 1.475 vcore 2x512 6400 ballistix 4-4-4-12 idel 37 load 47 yay to high, now im running it at 13x220=2860 stock vcore idle 32 load 41 i think its the msi pad thats why i get this high temps ;(, im just to scared not to use it coz this heatsink is kinda hard to install :)..
 
OK... I thought I had missed something important. :D

Your temps do look a bit on the high side. You should pull the heatsink off and check the thermal compound dispersion. You may have had either too little or too much on the heatsink and the MSI pad. My guess would be too much.

I am now at 230mhz FSB @ 1.41v to 1.42v (can't remember what the exact setting is in the BIOS). Temps are still low... 15C idle, 31C max under load.

The memory has been giving me problems though. the patriot is going back on RMA and 2gig of Corsair PC2 6400 C4 (4-4-4-12) is replacing it.
 
I'm well on my way to getting it stable at the FSB listed in my sig, but I do need to know something... What is the max voltage that I should push the CPU to? I know that it's listed voltage is 1.4 max, but what voltages has anyone else been using at the same or higher FSB speeds? Any links would be appreciated.
