btw what is a safe voltage/temps for the i7?

I would say max temp 80ºc for daily usage, benching the most I go is 90-93ºc for quick bench runs. Voltage for daily about 1.4v, benching I have done 1.567v without any issues.
True, I forgot about that. $230 is not bad i would say.

I'm running everest ultimate for monitoring the temps. Look in the farm thread for a pic of the set-up.
Also, see the stats on my other rigs. The other i7 runs at 4.0 and averages 4400-4500. I've noticed that most seem to be averaging a little lower numbers at the same clock. I'm curious as to why, maybe different projects or os?

You know what helps a lot, when a rig is a dedicated cruncher. When I was in Orlando i didn't use my i7 for three days, it did average like 5000PPD per day at 4.1GHz. Just by not using it.
