I ended up pulling the trigger on the x5650 setup. None of the retail class chipsets would let me use registered ECC DDR3, and in the long run I would be memory bound well before I was CPU bound. I felt the power savings were not worth it, and the value of the dual 1366 setup was really there. Thanks for all the input guys. I will probably star a build log when this stuff all comes in. I updated the build with a few tweaks to the HSF set up, and decided against the Rosewill 4U server chassis (too many complaints of it not racking properly)

I never touched the cooler, left every on auto except vcore was upped to 1.25v, and if I remember correctly I was able to hit 4.4 with decent temps under full load. It is possible you just got a CPU that wont overclock well ,it happens. I will assume you're on the latest BIOS and temps are in check?

At this point I have lost pretty much all interest in the 1+1. Between availability issues, ethical marketing tactics, and age I am just going to wait for the next Nexus phone.
