Hello I recently clocked my i7 960 (first time, I dont rly know much so any help are welcome!).
 
Here are the results: http://imageshack.us/f/836/41ghzzzzz.png/ , running with 2000Mhz ram too.
 
Clock info:
4.1 Ghz (164Mhz x 25 = 4.1
1970Mhz ram (164Mhz x 12 = 1970Mhz)
1,280Vcore (that gives 1,280 in idle and 1,264 in load
1.395qppi/vtt (needed for memory,+3degrees vs 1.333)
 
Computer info:

I ran it for 1hour 27 minutes only but will do a longer one tonight!
 
Are the temps too high or do you think its ok? Any other opinions about the clocking? All help are appreciated!

in normal use I'm pretty sure its around 40-60 degrees ~
