HI every Pro out there, i just OC my Q9650 to 3.78GHZ (420X9.0), when Idle is 42°C but when i run Prime95 it may run up to 70 - 80°C, is it counted as normal?? (i using water cooling)

What type of water cooling are you using? If you're on stuffs like Aquagate then it's normal because it's more or less like a high end air cooler like TRUE, probably worse sometimes.

It is normal when u set the CPU Voltage: [1.4500v]
Can you go lower on the voltage ???
North Bridge Voltage: [1.59v] ??? Too high... Lower down if can...

i changed the Vcore to 1.300V and NB Volt to 1.53V, able to finish the Intel Burn NOrmal and High Mode, is it called as stable??

hey dude, there is this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/651703 to help you out.
