But I'm fine with where I am at. I would like to know if there is anything I can do to lower my vCore and maintain speed. My rig is below:

Model: e6600 Retail
CPU frequency: 3.50 GHz (389x9)
Core voltage: 1.55 V
Cooling used: Scythe Ninja Plus
Load/Idle temperature: 58C/36C (room door was shut while sandra was running though :rolleyes: once opened load temps dropped to 53-55C)
Motherboard: eVGA nVidia 680i T1 SLI
Memory: 2GB GSkill PC6400
Timings: 5-5-5-15 @ 800mhz w/ 2.0v
Case: Antec P180B w/ (6) 120mm fans
Would like to be able to lower my vCore a little to get it to run a little cooler. Sandra won't complete right now with anything under 1.55 and windows won't boot if my RAM is below 2.0

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I'm doing too bad since I do see a lot of guys out there with 60C+ on air. Not to mention this is with sandra running at 12 hours so far and the CPU @ 100% load. 60-70% loads I'm running at about 47-50C. :D
 
Check your voltages inside windows, instead of what the BIOS is set at. I wonder how much Vdroop you have.
