What sort of cooling have you got on that? You need a good HSF and good airflow to OC a quad. Also have you got a decent PSU?

[Murtaza]

i've got 1 massive case fan, 1 medium size front fan, 2 medium size back fans, 1 small back fan, 1 motherboard fan, 1 processor fan and a graphics car fan. is that enough?

use coretemp to see what your current temps are.
