To get a good overclock, I have had to boost the NB voltage. The cpu Vcore is only at 1.3625 while I had to bump the NB up to 1.55. If I didn't my 3dMark05 score would drop by almost 2/3's!

So my question is, am I running it too high? Are others doing this?

At 1.55 volts on the Northbridge, do I need to worry about cooling it off in a different manner?

I would never mess with chipset voltages. But thats just me.

If you need to boost the chipset voltage. You need to ask yourself if it's really worth it?
