I meant on the CPU.
I would change your memory multiplier to keep them running @ close to stock speeds in order to find maximum CPU oc. Don't want RAM instability when ocing CPU.

I cant find away to change the RAM multiplier in my BIOS so im having to keep it at whatever its currently set to.
Ive ran Prime 95 for 5 mins and my cpu seems stable at 2.8GHz, ill leave it going over night just to make sure.

Well today i got a Cooler Master Hyper 212+
My Idle temp went from 39c to 21c
I oced to 3.7GHz and now i idle at 24c
I tried 3.9/4GHz and got BSOD
Will update after stress test.

yup stock cooling. it would hit a max of 62c give or take 1 with prime95 full heat/load test.
my ambient temps aren't great but my case cooling is fantastic.

i7 920 D0- 4.3 Ghz Stable (prime95 and LinX for 24+Hrs) Max temps hit ~70
Bclk=205
Multi=21
Vcore=1.368V
6GB memory 1638 Mhz with 6-7-6 timings
^^those are my 24/7 settings^^
On suicide runs I have reached 4.5 semi-stable (prime95 for 6 hours) and I can get her to boot at 4.6 but that is about this chips limit unless I get crazy with my voltages.

Please post cooling setups with ambient temp and load temps as well as records.

I have a custom watercooling loop
Feser triple rad, Laing DDC w/ xspc reservoir top, Apogee gtz, NB/SB block, mosfets are cooled as well.
It is a fully internal setup in a modded cooler master ATCS.
I will try and get some pics when I get home from work. It is in my basement so my ambient temps are a little cooler than what normal ambient temps are.

suicide...
i7 920 C0 @ 4.2 (200x21) 1.55vcore 1.5 qpi
noctua u12p push pull
got upto about 90c lol w/ IBT 16 threads
everyday...
3.8 ghz (181x21) 1.4vcore 1.4 qpi
everyday use/gaming gets upto 65c, IBT can get as high as 75c
By the way, noticed a scratch on the heatsink surface yesterday as i cleaned out my box and did a reseat. Can this hurt temps?

i would say no, not noticeably. unless the entire surface was scratched to hell and beyond i doubt you'll notice any difference at all.
theres heatsinks that specifically don't have mirror finishes or anything and some of them are the top coolers in the world too

4.0ghz on an E8400 CO with an improperly mounted CM Hyper 212 cooler. It was stable at 1.35vcore, but under load it was pushing 90C.

Here is a screen shot of prime95 after ~20min.
I had the voltage wrong in my first post, I was going off what cpu-z says. I checked in my bios and it is set at:
Vcore=1.375
Vqpi=1.3375
Dram Bus Voltage=1.66
I have been planning on doing a build thread for a while now, but I haven had time to take any pics. I will try to get it done soon so my WC setup makes more sense lol...

X3210 (lapped) - stock 2.12ghz - Overclocked to 3.65ghz. 24/7 stable
D-TEK FuZion v1
Swiftech MCR220
2 x 120mm Scythe SY1225SL12M 68CFM
Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump: Barb: 1/2"
Distilled water & Antifreeze
I will post screens once I get home and re-run Prime to get shots.

ive got a i7 920 CO with a Zalman 9900
i run it normally at the normal 2.66 Ghz, but ive overclocked it to 3.6 Ghz on air with no problems, however when i got it to 4.2 it wouldnt boot. :O

Well it turns out cable management does work. 
I did some cable management in my case and my case temps dropped from 27-28C down to 23-24C. Pretty big drop. I might try to move some more fans around later and see if I can get it lower. As for my overclocking. AMD phenom 8650 tri core stock 2.3GHz max OC 2.8GHz. Because of my motherboard I cant change the cpu to ram overclocking multiplier so when I overclock my cpu it also OCs my ram. This makes my ram heat up and become unstable past 2.8Ghz cpu speed. I think this cpu could OC alot more but the motherboard restricts it.
