Try that

Looks good, now try for a 12+ Test in Prime95. If it passes, lower the voltage some more til you are unstable.

looks good, just do not go over 80-85c. Try linx or ibt for hours, those two tests create more heat, and many people after running 24= hours of prime, run a few hours of linx and it fails. Stability is objective, as 2-4 hours prime stable might be just fine for you, people who fold or do more intensive work should do more extensive torture testing.

One quick question the spot you plugged the h50 pump in is it constant 12 volts? or is it throttled by cpu or something else?
there usually is a bios setting for the motherboard jumpers to have them run full boar all the time id suggest doing that and running higher cfm/rpm fans, your temps will decrease...For instance i run mine with 2 thermaltake thunderblade 95 cm fans my 1055t is at 4.003, and max temp ive ever seen is 45c i know intel runs hotter but before the switch it used to almost be at amd's thermal limit the fans dropped alooot of heat.And what way is your radiator and h50 block? upside down or both lvl?

the H50 was never meant to handle the heat of a i7 900 series cpu, most do hit about 80c, nothing odd about this case.

Hey I have a set up very similar to yours except that I have the H70, G.Skill PI CL6 3X2GB RAM and a Seagate HDD. I'm trying to get it to 4ghz. I was wondering whether you were successful and if you could post an update on your settings you used to OC your CPU? Any advice would be great.

I tried your settings to get it to 4ghz but it wouldn't boot up. I'm guessing it needs more voltage/QPI.

Did you ever enable your HT? My system is currently stable at 3.8ghz but reaches 80 degrees when I test it with prime. How where you able to keep your temperatures low?
