Honestly, while I could try to raise the vcore via pencil-style mods, I don't think I really have the thermal runway to deal with more voltage. The new board I ordered has voltage controls in the BIOS, so I'll be able to try it then and see how hot it gets.

Ah yes, the core 2 days. Back then, i was as well set on getting a core 2 quad Q6600.

But do to some things like back then, a completely pc Hatting dad. That was a complete bust. I had to wait to replace the awful slow amd athlon xp 1500+ single core cpu, til i moved out from home. So i ended up with a i7 920 as my first cpu owned completely by my self. But as we know, i7 920 was also a dam great cpu and the platform was glorious.
