I'm tempted to liquid cool but I think I'd have to replace my Antec Solo case in order to do so. I have the single Tri-Cool exhaust fan in back running on low and two 92mm fans in front of the HDs pulling in cool air at the front plus the dual OEM fans on the Hyper 212+. Short of improving my TIM and/or application method, that's about as good as I'm gonna get and keep the fan noise acceptable.
I just built another Z68/2400 in a 400R Carbide case and it runs much cooler than my rig. Same HSF with dual fans too.
What does the phase setting do? Is that the digi+ load line calibration?I agree. You should be able to reach 42-43 with just changing the multiplier.
Caution though, the MoBo increases the voltage automatically.
You may find your CPU is stable at a lower voltage than the MoBo throws at it, that's where setting LLC and offset comes in handy. I found the MoBo was giving way much more voltage than necessary. Setting the phases to extreme also helps keep the idle voltages down.
For example, In my results above with LLC and Offset in Auto, a 46 multiplier was hitting over 1.4v.
Trying out different combinations of LLC and offset got me to where I need to be.
Using this method allows the CPU to downclock in idle vs a manual Vcore where it runs at that voltage always.

I'm stable at a turbo ratio (TR) of 44 with all else relevant at defaults (P8P67 Deluxe and 2600K). Anyone else notice much lower idle Vcore @1600 MHz (offset mode) with TR set by per core as opposed to set by all cores?
Also, the behavior when Windows starts or resumes from sleep is entirely different. When TR is set by all cores, the turbo frequency is set and lasts for several seconds at startup or wake as though Windows is trying to optimize Vcore for all cores.
Anyone with sleep resumption issues and with TR set by all cores may want to try TR set by per per core instead. Or, vice versa. Again, this is for a P8P67 Deluxe and Vcore offset mode.
So there is a big difference if set per core instead of all cores? Is stability affected at all? I currently have my system set to all cores, but am willing to change if there is a benefit, could you kindly explain more about this? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Decided to try by per core several months later just out of curiosity. That's when I noticed that the default idle Vcore voltage was much lower, we're talking always over 1V before vs .8 to .9V after.
I just picked up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131702 recently for a friend and I installed the AI software but I don't have access to the AI Auto OC.. is there a reason why? I want to push her 2600 to 4.8! In the EUFI I did the oc option and it's only 4.3ghz too...
