i7 920 OC High Temp Low Voltage

[pedophilekiller]

This is perplexing: I can get my i7 to 3.8ghz (19x200) at 1.15v steady but the temperature would linger around 80-85C during Prime. The problem is I don't feel comfortable now trying 4ghz because the temp would immediately shoot towards 90C+ in seconds. The Arctic Silver 5 is the right thickness (I did it thrice) and the Xigmatek should be okay as well. My case has 5 120mm fans spinning right now and the exhaust is actually very cool. Help me remove the temperature bottleneck.

How did you apply the thermal paste? It should be done according to this method: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.p...sk=view&id=170&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=5

Also, make sure that the cooler is securely mounted. Are you using the bolt-through kit?
