I am happy to report that the OC plan I had worked out nicely. I have the speeds that I mentioned before. It took a vcore of 1.42 to make it stable, but now it has passed prime95 after running over four hours without a hitch, and the temps didn't go over 45C ever. I am extremely pleased with this :). Because of those temps, I could probably go higher, but I will not, because I am not reckless enough to endanger my system any more, and I am more than happy with the speeds I have. I can play FSX with most settings maxed out at 40fps (with a complex addon plane at KDEN), so I have no use for any more speed. Thanks for all your help linderman!
