Hmm bummer, my memory won't seem to run at 1066mhz no matter what I try. :S
Currently stressing a 4Ghz, 1.38vcore, 8x, 1000mhz 5-5-5-12. :)

What are temps with 4Ghz?
It's on air right?

4GB usually don't clock as well as 2GB of RAM in a system, BTW.
But 1000Mhz is pretty good.

Yeah I know, just as 2GB don't clock like 1GB. :P
I'm not sure about the temps. Different programs reporting different temps, so far Speedfan 4.34 Beta 28 seems to have the most reliable/believable one though (coretemp reporting attrociously high temps sometimes :S).
43C under F@H SMP load. Idle between 29C and 31C. Room temp 20.8C.

Edit: Oh and yeah, 1000mhz isn't bad, but I would have liked to put it at 444fsb and 9x multiplier and go away. :P. 4Ghz seems to be the start of the wall, it takes much more than 1.38v for 4.1Ghz (around 1.4 if im not mistaken) and then like 1.43 for 4.2Ghz.

4GHz on air, I would bet the real temp is closer to mid to upper60s or low 70s... unless you have the system sitting in front of a 15,000BTU windows AC or sitting outside in 20ºF air temps.....
my E6600 at stock speed with a BigTyphoon is seeing 48-52ºC with an air temp of 78-80ºF when using FAH SMP...

I don't think so. Seeing as I do 3.6Ghz by simply putting the FSB to 400 and 4Ghz with a vcore of 1.38v (and probably less (stock is 1.225v btw)), the reading speedfan is giving me are much more believable than Core Temp ones.
Right now, F@H SMP, 4Ghz @ 1.38v with Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme, room temp of 20.5C (or 68.9F for you Americans :P) I'm seeing temps of around 41C. Without load it drops to high 20'ies - low 30'ies. Pretty much like earlier, at 20.8C.
Furthermore, the air surrounding my Ultra-120 Extreme is not even hot or close to being hot and everything is very cool to the touch. 57C load temps like Core Temp is reporting right now would be hard to believe, seriously.
