After reading this post's replies i figured i should do something else to get my temps down...so i just turned down my multiplier to 10.0 and kept the fsb at 222. I then relapped the block (better this time, but could prob. go even a lil better.

This allowed me to go to 1.8 volts (1.79 true volts - board undervolts)

Now i am getting a full load temp of 48.2C. I think that is a lil better...and i figured that i was just running my cpu to about it's max (it might have a LITTLE more to give than 2.3) I've also seen that the new Ceramique (sp?) gives about 3 degrees better temps than what i am using right now, so that could drop me to only 17 above ambient...which is even a lil better. Maxim, (if you are reading this) let me use yours until i get some of my own

Condsidering that my air temps in my case are about 28C that translates to a C/W of 0.2346. IS this a more reasonable option to go pelt now? Or will running the pelt just require me to jump back up to 2.1 V in order to get my chip back to 2.3 or higher? I'm hoping that by running this pelt at about 75% that i can use less Core Volts to achieve 2.3 ghz than what i have to right now.

I hope that makes sense, lol

Thanks guys.
