If anyone good with overclocking has any suggestions as to what I should do next to further my GHZ? I havent blue screened yet.

Question: There is CPU temp, and Core 1 + Core 2 temp, which one should I be more trusting on?

I'd probably say you can trust the individual core temps, but I'm no expert, and I don't know that CPU personally. 137 degrees celcius as the maximum cpu temps just seems impossible to believe, or at least, believe it reached that high and didn't die a horrible death. Plus, with that cooler, being used with a dual core, I'd be inclined to think that 55-60C sounds about right.
