Scharnhorst,
Sorry to hear the bad news. If you do figure out what shorted out on you and want to give overclocking another go I would suggest you disable C1E, leave memory and fsb voltages where they are and raise you cpu voltage to 1.325v (which is default voltage for some q6600's). You want to run your memory at 667Mhz initially for simplicity. It also allows you to test the cpu's overclock without having other hardware cloud the issue. Once you know everything is stable then you push the memory back up to 800Mhz or beyond.
Do you have a fascination with the WWII German battle cruiser of the same name or is there another reason for Scharnhorst? Just curious. 
Hope you get your hardware issues sorted out. I checked out your linked thread and that is a large case! The only thing I would recommend there is that you invest in some zip ties and try to clean up the wiring a bit. It doesn't have to be beautiful just better. Tidying things up a bit will improve airflow and could prevent a short which also helps keep the smoke in if you know what I mean  It appears to be your first build so don't get discouraged.
Dimensionjew,
Those loaded temps are actually quite good for a quad overclocked to 3.0Ghz. At stock speeds and voltages it would be about 5-7c lower.
