I see 71 C on one of the cores w/ small FFTs at 4 GHz. Voltage is around 1.33V under load. I am not comfortable going any higher with this cooling setup.

I'm halfway thinking about H2O now, but to do it right will cost me upwards of $600. That's a lot of scratch for a minimal performance gain. At least the components would last a long time.
