The Thermalright stuff is very highly reccomended, btw what voltage are you putting through the NB, had this board with a q6600 at 3.8ghz, NB voltage of 1.34 but it was always very cool.

Depending on bios revision, it can be a bit dangerous to let the p5q deluxe run on auto voltages, they are known to seriously overvolt PLL, FSB-TERM-NB voltage if left on auto or lowest manual setting. Same applies to ram volts, overvolting by upto + 0.08v, ie my ram was rated at 2.1 vdimm, i ran it at 2.02 vdimm.

Theese are the chipset voltages i used for 3.8ghz

CPU-PLL, 1.6V
FSB-TERM, 1.34
NB1.34.

The max reccomended are. 1.6 for pll, and 1.4 for fsb term and nb, set fsb -nb strap to 333mhz (most stable from my experience).
