Indeed.  I have an Antec 900 case with all the fans going full blast-I don't care about noise, I want COOL!  I have to open up the case and blow the dust out with the compressor every week.  You should see the cloud that comes out.  And also it's cool in San Diego this time of year so I'm running my fastest I can run right now.  

I watched my temps closely during my Prime95 runs and it never got above 62 C using the small FFT test.  Idle I'm around 34-35 C, cooler on colder nights.  I so want to push her further but I don't want to push the temps any higher.  And at 1.47 volts (BIOS) I don't want to add much more voltage if any.  Right now I'm at 9 x 430 Mhz for 3.87 Ghz.  I think I'm very close to my max temp without good water cooling and if Intel's voltage spec is 1.5 then I really can't go any higher on that if I want my cpu to last another year at least.

watch your temps :) make sure your processor fan and heat sink is clean, when mine is clean i can run 2.8 stable but once dust builds up it gets to hot to run at the over clock :(
