yes, Realtemp will read the Intel registries, and locate the factory TJ max setting for your chip, so leave it at what it said originally.

after you enter the changes hit F-10 to save in the BIOS, then run Linx max memory and realtemp again.

Made the changes, but on the IOH/ICH I/O Votage setting 1.51 was not an option.  It was 1.500v and the next one was 1.525v, I chose 1.525v.  Screenshots of new readings.

Ok, now two changes, 1. CPU VTT Voltage +.200
                                 2. CPU host frequency 199
If that holds, then we can try lowering a couple voltages to get your temps down, but still stable, then we can work on getting it 24/7 stable, this will put you at 4.2Ghz. Ouch

He might be able to lower temps a slight bit with lowering the V core, but something tells me he won't be able to lower it much, a click or 2 tops. lol

because your temps are getting high, i would suggest lowering the B clock to 195, that will get you close to 4.1Ghz, your other option I would not suggest, and that would be to bump the V core up two notches
