I have read that and numerous other guides but still im a bit unclear.
if i get to a certain point, ie reset starts/blue screen and my voltage is already high, do i start to increase nb freq, or ht freq, or both? (add upping the voltage on these if need be)

It being high is what could be causing you to blue screen. I have mine at 3.85 GHz atm(didn't test stability yet) but I had my voltage at 1.5 and it would blue screen(with my settings) before booting so I dropped it to 1.475 and it boots fine now.

by high i mean raised off default - i should of worded better >.<

Maybe you're going for too high of a clock or fsb is too high. Specifics would be helpful.

Like I said...I don't mind spending the money...

I can spring an extra 20 bucks.

Would that be the best in the under 150ish range?

Pretty sure at this time the Megalahem is the BEST air cooler. It beats IFX and TRUE(lapped) in most tests.

imo, Megahalem is king of coolers for now. Ive got my load temps at 3.7 at 48C-49C without the Slipstreams on full even (BIOS waits till 50C to kick them on at full speed). If your going to remain on air for a while, then go Megahalem, if your thinking about going water I wouldnt do the megahalem just because its a lot of money to replace in a short period of time.

Are you guys hitting temp problems before you max out volts. I'm at 3.7 at 1.40 volts 100% stable but my temps are at 52C and I have my air conditioning blowing full blast.

3.84GHz 2640MHz NB 1.472Vcore and my full load is about 45-50 Degrees C

ive got mine running at 3.7 at 1.4volts, and at 100% my temp are only 48-49celsius
