As for the Xiggy. Are you using the original clip? I use a 1283 and got a custom bracket made and sold through a user here on OCN that makes the heatsink mount vertical instead of horizontal. The hard mount bracket probably gets better clamping pressure and better pressure should help heat transfer better.
Also what fans are you using on there? for awhile I used 2x Slipsteams 1900rpms. Using push/pull I've noticed issues with extra noise on the pull fan. Currently using a Coolermaster R4 fan with a fan shroud in between and let the case fan do the pull work. Been thinking of looking for a high static pressure fan like the gentle typhoon 1400/1800 to mess with.
Usually have a low ambient though (keep the house at 65F) but the room is much cooler than that.
I've done both, it doesn't seem to matter which way I go about it as far as voltages go. The same clockspeed, same volts. Highest I can get the motherboard is around 240 FSB stable.
I am using the original clip, and I'm a little underwhelmed overall, but I don't know if that's the cause. At 1.425v (1.488v full load due to mobo), I peak at around 58~ celcius. Apparently I have a high leakage chip, because I used to run my old 940 at 3.6 and 1.52v, and it'd top out at 1.58 full load, around 60 celcius, same cooler setup.
I'm using the stock fan that came with the xiggy along with the same xiggy fan bought on the side. I don't know their specifications.
I've unfortunately a high ambient temperature, around 78 farenheit at all times at the least. I'm in an old victorian house with radiator heat, and we aren't able to control it so it's ungodly hot. Good thing heat's free: I have windows open most of the time, and the average outside temperature this time of year has got to be about 20 farenheit.
