I am using a Cool it Domino on my core I7 - OC'ed I can run 4.0 HT on and HT off temps for HT on after 6 mins of linpak (from occt) are just shy of 90. With HT off they hit 79-81. In the OCCT stress test It is more like 74-75 and I have run it 9 hours straight. The OCCT reports a volatge fo 1.44 - is that too much? I have dropped it down to 1.3 and 3.8 ghz and it is still rock solid and better temps..

so my questions are - linpack that is like uber stress right? it hitting 90 on one core is okay since in the real world I will never work my machine at that level for that amount of time??

voltage 1.44 - is that too high?
 
I would say that anything over 1.35 is usually "unnecessary" as such, you shouldn't need to go higher than that. I have an average C0 chip and doing 3.93 GHz@ 1.3v. 4.0GHz requires about 1.4v, then it starts to get hot.
Also, you'll be fine running 90c in linpack, its stresses [H]ard as hell.
 
1.44 vcore is a bit high, but since its a D0 you should have no problems with a 4ghz overclock with a 1.25 vcore or a lil higher around 1.27v. YMMV though, really depends on batch.
