Question about my cpu...its a Q8300, 7.5x mult, 2.5ghz stock speed...currently at 3.0, 1600mhz fsb, ram running 1600 mhz

My question is the voltages. I Upped the fsb volt from 1.1 - 1.27 withv vdroop.

Is this too much, too little? and should i up core voltage?

Prime95 ran for 1 hour and it maxed at 63c

You don't need to raise the voltages if you aren't experiencing any instability. Try incrementally lowering the voltages until you're just able to pass a few hours of P95. You might be able to shave a few degrees off the load temp by doing so.

A Swiftech Apogee GTZ paired with a '95 Buick heatercore and a modded Via Aqua 2300 pump. The flow rate for my pump isn't as good as the Laing D5 it replaced though :(
