E8500 OC pic

OK, here's, my problem. I can only run my multiplier at 9.5.

1680 is the fsb wall with core voltage 1.344.... Once i go above 1700 fsb, it becomes unstable... I know I can OC this ALOT more but i dnt know how without actually raising my core voltage and if i do that, it will hit 1.4 and thats 2 high for my confort..

Should I raise the CPU voltage from 1.10 to 1.15 or 1.20??

Any ideas? Right now the computer is running very stable with my CPU temp not going over 56c on high load...

Ok, as I ran 3dmark, during the cpu test, my temp when to 62c. is that to high? that would really suck if it was to high cuase the comp is only running 4 ghz. any way i can lower the cpu temp... im using AC7
playing CSS on high graphics on a 56 man server with 45 players, my temp didnt go above 55. so on crysis with high graphics, it shouldnt go above 65c, i think thats kinda high. what ya thnk?
