I tried lowering the Vcore to 1.700V and everything ran very stable, and lost 4C, then I kept increasing the FSB.


are you sure about 1.700V thats really to high
 
Currently running 7x 400MHz (2.80GHz) @ 1.20Vcore, idle 45C, full load 61C.

2x 512MB Corsair DDR2 XMS2 Twin2X (4-4-4-12), currently running 1:1 at 800MHz, at 5-5-5-15, +0.1V. MemTest for 60 minutes without problem. Will do a longer test tonight.

As for my cooling, I've upgraded, not the HSF, I'm still using stock HSF, but now, I have a total of 4x 8CM fan, and 1x 12CM fan, and of course a 12CM fan on my Cooler Master PSU.
 
I'm clocked at 430MHz FSB (3.01GHz).
I set Vcore up to 1.250V initially, and failed stability test after 2 hours.
I set it up to 1.275V and have yet to give me problems, still doing Prime95 while writing here. 2 hours 49 minutes have elapsed since I run the test.

Will go get some sleep, and wake up, hopefully without errors.

Thats 1.9v right? If you need more out of them set it at 2.2v
2.2v is still very safe voltage for vDIMMs, it doesnt cause awful electron migration and your modules will last you long enough.
Up to 2.4v will last you for 5+ years so thats the "safe" limit for 24/7 OCs.
 
Vdimm at 2.1V.
Vcore at 2.2875V
FSB at 481MHz (3.367GHz)
Idle: 45C
Load: 59C (9 hours Prime95 so far no problem, still running)

I guess I'm gonna stop here for now. I'm very happy with what I have now.

Will keep running Prime95, hopefully nothing goes wrong. Gonna go to bed, when I wake up, time for some MemTest.

I'll keep you guys updated.
