I have since down clocked to 3.0 as it provides sufficient power and I like my temps in the 20*'s. I have heard of people going up to 3.6 stable on air.
I had mine up to 3.6GHz on air

What program are you using to read your temps? I ask because in your sig it says 18C idle, which is only around 65F, which seems a bit cold. Theres no way for the CPU to be cooler then the ambient temp on air cooling, so if your room is over 65F, then its a wrong reading.
