After replacing what turned out to be a bad stick of ram, I was easily able to get to 4GHz... which makes me really happy. Is this all good?

Thought I'd see what she could do without raising voltage and made it this far. What's a safe temp for 24/7 use? I know I could push it further, but my main concern is finding the max USUABLE clock that won't reduce life too much. Looks like I got a good chip though :D

EDIT: Oh yeah, temps in orthos blend test never go over 47 so just IBT I guess. My RAM is running 1:1 at 479FSB (so 958MHz DDR) so is running below it's rated speed. Timings are 5-5-5-15 at 1066MHz so is it worth tightening them up a bit at the lower speed? If so, what to?

I'm gonna try to lower it one more click so I can say I made it to 4.3 on stock volts lol. Will run further stress when it's not stupidly late. Any ideas on the RAM timings? Thanks for the feedback :)
 
I do :) I have 2 x 2Gb Corsair Dominator PC8500, which runs at 1066 5-5-5-15 @2.1V. For some reason my BIOS has it at 5-5-5-18 right now, and rather than jump the multi way up I'd rather just tighten up the timings, but have no idea what the hell I'm doing there. Obviously dropping to 5-5-5-15 will be my first step, but after that? Or I could just leave a good thing as it is :p
