Pelts have started to lose their appeal for cpu cooling - you'd need some watercooling just to cool a pelt big enough for good temps, and a seperate expensive PSU like a Meanwell. They were great back in the days when a 75watter and hsf on top was all you could ever need, but new procs are just too hot now.

I think I could build a chilled water pelt that could rival some single stage phase change, both in temps and cost.

 

If you can keep the newcastle under 20C maximum load, I think 1.85v would be safe long term.

instead of buying better cooling, buy an nForce mobo instead of that VIA one you've got now... i seriously doubt colder temps will help you and think your mobo is the root of your very weak oc...
