Razon,
What is the actual voltage your cpu is running at? You can set it at 1.35v, but most boards suffer some "voltage droop". This is especially common with quads and pre-P35 chipset boards. I'm not current on the Nvidia boards, but would assume they suffer some of the same problems. A little droop is OK, but you very easily could be setting 1.35v in the bios and actually only getting 1.29v to the cpu. I would recommend you change your alarm temp to something a bit more realistic, like 65c or 70c, these cpu's idle at 40c, so you basically have it set to alarm right when it's turned on. Also, try upping your voltage setting in the bios a step or two. Your cpu cooler is pretty good and should handle it. Please do this with care though, as nothing is certain when it comes to overclocking, so keep an eye on your temps. I recommend using coretemp for this, but intels Thermal Analysis Tool (TAT) works great too.
