I don't want to turn this into an overclocking thread, but yeah. It seems like ~3.6 Ghz is the limit for this i7 860 on stock fan (pretty impressive considering the factory clock is 2.8 Ghz). I'll order a new fan eventually when other games start to lag, but in the mean time, emulated Goldeneye is the only odd game on this rig that's not smooth as butter.
