So is this completely stable?

I've now set the multi on mine to 19x in a bid to go back to 200 Bclk :D

Well I guess that the main problem is your cooling, running stable @ 4ghz with 80+ degrees °C is a big no :D

Running an i7 920 at full load overclocked is hot anyways. 80+ degrees is not unreasonable.

Reasonable yes, with a stock cooler, anyway I guess that I7 cpu's are a little hotter than I5? but I really suggest to buy a new cooler with those overclocks above 4Ghz on a I5 cpu... if you want to run stable (noctua or zalman cnps10x etc...)

yeah ok, sorry to say buth those coolers are way under the cooling performance of noctua NH14 and Zalman cnps10x :p I run full load @ 4ghz on max temp of 65-70 degrees
